You have my heartfelts sympathies.
We accepted an offer on 11th march - and have been looking to exchange in what is now a three house chain every day for a week and a half. I have had no phone call today as yet, and it's enormously stressful.
I keep packing things and thinking 'if we don't sell I'll need to unbox this' regularly. Yet we are programmed to be actually moving house a week friday, so I need to be doing something.
It's awful. Your complications must be terribly trying. No suggestions, just sympathy from a fellow sufferer.0 -
Thank you, Seanymph. Hope yours get completed soon.
I've packed some items since May (we don't have many stuff) and I was worried our vendor couldn't move out in time because they have a lot of furniture and they can't do much on their own being an elderly couple. But now it looks like that would be the least of my problem...0 -
It's crazy isn't it - my OH packed up my kitchen at the weekend! I now only have six plates - six bowls etc... I could be living like this for months at this rate - no exchange yesterday, and none likely today - here's hoping for tomorrow.0
