    Well some excellent news we have had a cmpletion date today for the 2nd december
    Just to be clear, do you mean

    * the estate agent has said sellers have agreed completion should be on 2nd Dec
    * your solicitor has said sellers solicitor has agreed ccompletion should be on 2nd Dec
    or
    * your solicitor has said Exchange of Contracts took place today with Completion set for 2nd Dec

    ??
  • The solicitor recieved the deed and offer from lender and that should have been back to me now. The completion and exchange date was proposed by my solicitor but now wxcha ge is tomorrow and still no deed in the post so i am confused as to why they have said this early if they knew it wasnt going to be this early??? Do t know what todo now. Also another solicitor is dealing with us aswel as the original solicitor (same firm)

    The solicitor yours?recieved the deed and offer from lender so it was the mortgage offer you were waiting for? and that should have been back to me now. If your solicitor has it he can ExchangeThe completion and exchange date was proposed by my solicitor but now wxcha ge is "proposed for" tomorrow and still no deed in the post But your solicitor has confirmed he's received it (?) so i am confused as to why they have said this early if they knew it wasnt going to be this early??? well

    1) your solicitor probobly sees no reason not to Exchange if he's got confirmation of you mortgage offer and confirmation from you of your alance (deposit)

    2) why would he 'know it wasn't going to be this soon (early)"? He probobly expected the post to deliver to you at the same time as to him
    Do t know what todo now.
    Tell the solicitor to Exchange subject to his having the confirmation of the mortgage offer that you say he's got.
    Also another solicitor is dealing with us aswel as the original solicitor (same firm)
    Lucky you! Two solicitors for the price of one! Is this 'Tesco Conveyancers'?
  • The solicitors have recieved the deed back and all paperwork including buildings insaurance etc but still have not requested the deposit and completion is meant to be friday 2nd. Is it possible to still complete on this day if its a case of just transferring monies?

    Since you have still not confirmed if Exchange has happened it is impossible to answer you.

    Your posts are somewhat hard to understand, and you seem to ignore our questions, so .....
