Am I just impatient?

You would have been my dream seller!!! But 20/10 was barely a week and a bit ago, so not that long.
My mortgage valuation was done less than a week after my offer was accepted and the survey within a fortnight! No point beating around the bush...EU expat working in London0 -
I am on the opposite side of your coin.
Offer accepted on 21st, mortgage application in, solicitior instructed, valuation booked and the seller doesn't seem to have instructed a solicitor yet.....deep breaths and settle in for the wait

I think you're being a little impatient. When I first spoke to our bank to discuss a new mortgage I was told there was a 3 week wait for appointments! Luckily there was a cancellation so we were able to see them earlier but it could've been a long wait!0

The same thing happened to me (but I'm the buyer). My offer was accepted, and when I called my MA I was told he was on holiday for the week. It was frustrating for me as the buyer because I wanted to get the ball rolling, but the day he was back in work, the full application went in."Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles".0

My partner has just exchanged contracts on the sale of his house. He accepted the offer on July 27 and heard nothing for 8 weeks. Survey and exchange took place very quickly afterwards. I think the buyer was waiting for his finance to be in place before spending any money on a survey.
I don't think that 14 weeks is very long - when I sold my last house it took 6 months."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
