We were on the other side of the fence and buying our first house rather than selling. It took us 6 months from offer being accepted to finally completing.
This was due to the SELLER faffing us about & very nearly changing their mind towards the end. A few sleepless nights for us over those months!
Originally we were told it could be 6-12 weeks but ended up being 6 long months. We had our mortgage in place, survey done, funds etc & were all set to go within a matter of weeks. After 4 months we signed the contract of exchange as solicitor said vendor was ready to exchange & complete. Yet it took them till 8 weeks later before they eventually signed, as they kept saying other things were cropping up & they didn't have time to go sign. :mad: Thankfully all went through & we finally completed. :T
Sometimes things never go to plan & usually its the seller who has problems with the buyer. But in our case it was the other way round!0 -
in process at moment, to exchange approx 7 weeks and to completion approx 90
