Honestly, just do all you can to get it dealt with asap. Your health and sanity's not worth it.

We thought it couldn't be as bad as our last move. That took 5 months and was a nightmare from start to finish. The problems didn't even stop after exchange. On completion day, the FTB's solicior forgot to order her top-up loan money so we had notice to complete served on us (we were third in a chain of 4) and we didn't get the keys until nearly 5pm. We had already agreed an allowance of £500 as the FTB had not budgeted for her legal fees and didn't have the money to pay them. The estate agent played on the fact that she was a FTB so didn't know how the process worked, which really annoyed me as I was a FTB too, it was my partner that was selling his flat (I didn't live there). That nearly finished me off!0 -
Are you able to speak to the actual people involved rather than hearing it all second hand through EAs and solicitors?0
