I see it's taken so long you've literally had a baby!

3 weeks is a very long time for it to be waiting on the buyer, if it really has been waiting on them all that time. Are they waiting for something else to happen, such as an inheritance to come through?

We wanted to move before my baby was born.
I've been told by the bottom chain agent that his mother
Is giving him deposit. He also told me he is foreign and doesn't speak
Very good English. No one can get hold of him. I'm going to lose dream home.

I just don't know what to do but wait till next week I guess.

Give him a deadline warning and commuinicate it via solicitors. Im sure he speak English well enough he will undesrstand the point.

It doesn't look good. If you did give up does that mean you'd put your house back on the market or something else? At this time of year the market is slow so putting houses back on the market with a view to complete before Xmas is probably a bit unrealistic. With the chain above it's not all doom and gloom, if they did advertise again it doesn't mean they would sell, it doesn't hurt to follow suit so if they remarket theirs you remarket yours. Probably good idea waiting until January though.

I hope it works out for you.

It doesn't look good spoke to my estate agent and
Said that the bottom solicitors are still waiting for his
Mortgage deeds(signed) & bank statements to prove he has deposit

They can't get hold of him but I just don't don't understand
That he sent these back 3 weeks ago and he didn't get the witness bit
Signed for the mortgage deeds. So he must be serious in buying surely.

Deadline is next Friday 30/11/12
