Moon river-will keep my fingers crossed for you Hun. It's awful when out our control I know, for me with this place it's been 6mths since my offer had been accepted.0

Scotland eh? Who knows!0

I feel your pain, OP - we made our offer back at the end of May, and we still haven't reached exchange. I can't decide whether the vendors don't really want to sell, or they have just employed the most incompetent legal practice in the north.
The only thing stopping us from giving up is the lack of an alternative. If something else comes up at the right location/price, we'll seriously consider it.:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

This is why I avoid divorce or chain properties - bad experiences with both so never again0

Alternatively you could move to Scotland where you do get all these silly chains when buying and selling property.
Hi Pixie - I assume you meant to say 'don't'?
Assuming that's the case, can you explain why please? I've never dealt with buying in Scotland so am genuinely interested to know.

Sorry to say but I used wine to get me through it. I know I would not have. However now that we have exchanged I can sleep easy I have nothing on my mine all the stress has gone away. Until the day I move that is!0
