How do we agree an exchange date? Will we be asked by the solicitors when we want to exchange or do we just tell them a date. I think we just need searches to come back and get a damp issue resolved but just thinking ahead.0

They will ask you as well as understanding what others in the chain are expecting then a mutually agreeable date will be confirmed. When I appointed my conveyancers I told them when I expected to exchange and complete but I'm dealing with a developer and buying a new build so a bit different.0

Well I'm still here in limbo land, not even exchanged yet the completion date was due next Thurs.It's been put off until tomorrow morning
I'm left with 4 working days to book removals redirect mail ect, think I will be ring my sol in the morning to change completion dates.
I'm not having a mortage but my buyers are, can anyone tell me how long they need from ex to complete to get funds0 -
I feel your pain rustyhead. I am due to exchange tomorrow and complete on 14 December but I really can't see it happening. This is so stressful and there is nothing more I can do - just need both sets of solicitors to talk to one another.0

Well caeler looks like you get 14 days to sort yourself out, I'm having kittens, it's only me in the 3 partys having to book removals ect.Buying a empty house buyers living with friends/ parents.
Will be on the phone at 9am putting a stop on the exchange will need to rearrange the completion date. OH as just said if it dosn't happen by lunch time tomorrow we have 3 1/2 working days to book thing up.
How can anyone do that!

I don't know either. I can probably leave it a tad longer to exchange and keep the completion date. I've already checked the removal company still has availability for the date I have in mind, royalmail must need at least a week and BT services even longer..... nightmare.0 -
You two are lucky! At least you have exchange dates!0

How is everyone doing?
We have returned draft contracts and signed the other forms. Not sure how we go about getting an exchange date now?
I completed on Friday the 23rd. Yay, moved myself too, double yay. Never again!!!!!!
No blooming broadband until the 11th. What about OP?“Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.”
