Great news, that's a big hurdle over :T

Hope you get a date soon.

Thanks Eating the elephant, we are so relieved the mortgage is sorted, I'm not the worlds most patient waiter, so next few weeks are going to drive me mad waiting to get my hands on those keys

My head is spinning with plans for the land/house. I have saved already for my much anticipated horse, and enough money for building materials for his/her stable and small covered area for staw/hay store . Hubby is going to build this (hes good at diy thankfully), so that is one project, among many! :rotfl:

We aren't going to be bored for the next few years bringing all our plans to reality, I'm soooooooo excited! :j

Also, I haven't even signed the contract yet, but couldn't resist working out different scenarios for overpayments to clear the mortgage last night, I'm probably deranged, but I'm relishing the challenge of getting the mortgage cleared , even though that will be a marathon, not a sprint

sale is plodding through the processes, just awaiting searches/queries on searches etc.. it is 3 weeks tomorrow since our offer was accepted, and the process started, we are hoping for a speedy completion :j

sammy70

contracts signed, just waiting on answers to my solicitors queries, which apparently are on the way, then we can set a completion date :j I'm really hoping we can do that this week, I want those keys!

I'm hoping for 18th November to exchange/complete,, fingers crossed! :rotfl:

Good luck, sammy! Exciting times!

sammy70

Thanks Pearla!

Solicitor has received all queries, she is reviewing them, fingers crossed tomorrow will be good news on a very soon completion date

We are going to the house Saturday so we can be shown how to light the multifuel burner, I'm soo excited!:j

I must admit though, I'm exhausted, fed up of waiting and sorting paperwork, I WANT TO MOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE!!:rotfl:

sammy70

Still awaiting completion date :eek:

Solicitor is doing final review of file today, if all queries etc. sorted, we could have exchange of contracts in next week :j

We discussed with vendors, and have both agreed on 28th November to complete :j


Fingers crossed now that everything goes smoothly..:)

We have bought a few items of furniture, and tools etc from the sellers, bargains:j, and a good start as we are starting from scratch, they have kindly agreed to leave quite a lot, washer, cooker, various items of furniture too :)

sammy70

No date to exchange yet :mad:

Solicitor raised couple more queries to be resolved, hopefully, by mid next week. We are so fed ap and stressed thinking something will go wrong, we are both worriers

I'm driving myself nuts wanting to make plans for the house, including plans for targets for overpayments etc, its so frustrating waiting! :eek:


In the meantime to keep myself focussed, I'm concentrating on meal plans/cutting grocery costs, that's all really I can do on the money saving front at the moment until we have exchanged contracts. Once the house is signed and sealed, I can get on with sorting best providers for landline, broadband etc

Fingers crossed by next Friday we will have everything in place, and will exchange contracts :)

Its such a long drawn-out process isn't it - I feel your frustration. Hope your completion date comes through very soon. Sooooooo exciting ��
