Can i force a completion date?

SmlSave

No you can't force exchange/completion dates.

You can inform them of your situation and keep your fingers crossed but you will have effectively made yourself homeless by giving notice before exchange.

Your not the first, nor the last person to do this.

I completely understand Christmas is a family time but at the end of the day they have so much support around them and they've delayed things along the way too

You can't.

And i fail to see why your current status is any concern of the vendor. They can't have dragged their feet too badly if the process isn't even 3 months down the line. And i wouldn't say completing in December and moving house is " A little inconvenience"

As for handing in your rental notice.. Lesson learnt.

Hi
I have been through the mill this year and looking for some advice!
Had a bit of a rough time with illness, a separation and family deaths and my first house sale fell through at the last minute (Im a FTB). I put an offer in on a new house on the 1st September & Im still waiting to get in. My vendors solicitors submitted 'purchase related enquiries' to their vendor at the start of nov (who is renovating a property so there is no upper chain) and he's still not replied. Their solicitor seems only part time, my vendor says they don't want to move if after the 5th December (so not to disturb the kids) and I am in rented accommodation (so if not out by the end of the year have to sign another 6mth contract and I simply cant afford to do that and lose up to 3k once I move). And to be truthful I cant see me getting through Christmas as I am on my own in not the greatest of flats with my parents living away, have all the upset of this year on my mind and I have been dead efficient throughout whilst both my vendor and theirs have needlessly delayed things. This has taken its toll as it is
Anyway my question is, if their vendor finally returns purchase enquiries (which apparently are all simple questions) but the completion would be delayed until the 12th December how can I force the completion? (as I stand to lose an awful lot of money and at the end of the day they are in a loving relationship with both sets of parents nearby-seems a bit mean for me to have an upsetting Christmas at the sacrifice of them having a bit of inconvenience). I completely understand Christmas is a family time but at the end of the day they have so much support around them and they've delayed things along the way too

Guess what? You're not exclusively the only person to have this kind of stuff to deal with - its called life,

Every person on this planet has rubbish stuff to deal with. You don't know your vendors situation. You sound rather self centred and petulant.

Thanks... not

What because you feel people didn't try to advise you of your position and options?

Or because you don't like your position and options as advised?
