PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Nearly at completion date agreed, no exchange of contracts!

Thanks all, I think I get the point they're not agreed, just targets.
I just need to get it hurried along a bit if possible so we can meet those targets!0 -

No, but he can contact his own solicitor, which is what I meant!I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -

This is my understanding also.0 -

TBH I hadn't even seen your post as I started typing it before you posted, but couldn't finish it because I was stuck on the phone.
I was explaining to the earlier exponents of "hassle the solicitor."I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser Code of Conduct.

We were ready to exchange at 12 today. To complete on Friday. I said all along I wanted longer to not have to stress. Still no exchange, but I am 90% sure it will still all go through. Luckily we have until 1 June in our rental, but we are so worried about tempting fate we have packed nothing, and booked no removals (can do it ourselves if need be)
My celebratory glass of wine is going to turn into 1/2 bottle of drowning my sorrows tonight.
Best of luck with yours - once the last paperwork turns up it all happens very quickly0 -
Just a quick update. We exchanged Friday, complete Thursday, and we're moving this Friday. It all happens very quickly once you're ready! Yikes!0
