Just an idea, this whole house move is statring to really get me down as i am getting really impatient now, Got some news today though regarding house sale, the EA are sayin buyers could complete within 2 weeks dunno how true this is, My solitor sent of all the required documents to buyers solitors and they recieved this today and will be goin thru this at some point dunno when..

ANYHOW, Ive just got the christmas tree:xmastree: out of the loft and am gonna start on this, have bought loadsa chocolate decaration for the tree - though i dunno if this will last till xmas day :rudolf: , was thinkin maybe everyone else should get their xmas trees out just to keep our minds occupied.. am eating some of the chocolates now, taste very good :rotfl:

Good luck as always, i didnt know i was this impatient :xmassign:

Glad to see that things are moving on for some people. :j

Our buyer has been a total nightmare this week, I thought it was all over. Our mortgage has taken a little longer than the norm because of a previous identity theft issue with my hubby's name, but told us on Friday all went through ok and survey on our purchase being done this week.

So I thought, that's great, but why no survey done by vendor on our house yet? So I called the EA to chase, and she called him, he was busy and said he call her right back. Then she called and called, and called for 3 days and he didn't respond - he switched is damn phone off. :mad:

We were almost at the point of putting the house back on the market, assuming he had changed his mind, and therefore face losing our purchase. And suddenly he has called the agents, keen as ever on the house but saying his mortgage has only just been sorted out due to the fact he is self employed.

Big relief for us, obviously, but why the hell put us through 3 days of worry, when he knows we've had two chains fall through this year? We can cope with delays, and my hubby used to be self-employed so we know it can take longer to sort a mortgage, I just wish he'd kept us informed. What's the betting there are lots more hiccups like this one along the way....

Update on my progress. Drum roll please......guess what? No news!! Actually phoned sols as only had one piece of news in nearly 2 weeks. Questioned 'Have you got those local authority searches back yet' Answer ' let me just check. Oh yes, I'll put them in the post' Agggghhhh - why do I have to ask for this to be done. Aren't sols supposed to be brainy types?? Guess not!!!

Congrats to Weenock who appears to have moved in (according to another post!):beer:

Wow .. congrats every little news is very good..

Yesterday, the buyers for our property we are selling to also said to the EA that they want to complete with in 2 weeks this would be great, but would rather just wait and see how it progresses... as anythin seems so fragile and anythin could go wrong...

Good luck all

Our xmas tree is up, feel all xmassy now. Makes me smile, no chocolates left though so gonna get some more at the weekend, and have promised i wont eat any more..:o
