Your buyer may also walk away. If you cause another long delay yourself.0 -

well as it stands if i buy house number 1 then buyer would have to wait 2 months.
House number 2 is empty with no upward chain0 -
When you say they are messing you about with dates, has this been one of those situations where at the beginning of proceedings somebody picks a date out of thin air, completely at random, without a clue whether the chain of solicitors will all be ready to exchange on that date, and then when it gets delayed somebody decides they've had enough and throws their toys out of the pram, stamps their feet, and !!!!!!s off leaving everyone else up the creek?
Or have these dates been discussed this week, with everyone in the chain ready to exchange subject to finding an exact date for completion?
Different scenarios will deserve different responses.0 -

Doesn't equate to an instant move. The formalities still take time.0
