Not something a broker will ever discuss.
Even when I was an advisor for an EA, we used to have a saying "we don't do dates." As we weren't party to what was happening legal-wise.
Once the offer is issued, it's over to the solicitor to do the legal work. Just bear in mind, until everyone in the chain is agreed on a completion date, you can't exchange contracts and you also can't exchange contracts until everyone's paperwork is done with their 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. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice. Please do not send PMs asking for one-to-one-advice, or representation.0 -
