In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules.

We have a really short chain and everything so far has been straightforward but we are now into week 11 since our offer was accepted. We are nearly there, with loose ends being tied up as I type, but our solicitor is still very hesitant to commit to confirming we are on the home straight. As has previously been stated, it seems to be the searches and the resulting queries that delay things.
I keep telling myself that this is just a short wait, and I will have lots of time to sit back and enjoy being in my new home.... once I get there!
Good luck0 -
Good news!! Searches shall be done by Friday...We are away on holiday next week so that's a nothing week...But we could be signing on the Monday...Then is it true you have to wait 2 weeks before getting keys??0

No, you wait whatever time is agreed by you, your solicitor, the buyer and the buyer's solicitor - depending on money being available (drawn down) from the mortgage, and last bits of moving, packing, booking vans/removals trucks and who can be off work when etc.
You could do it same day. You could wait a month.Mortgage - £[STRIKE]68,000 may 2014[/STRIKE] 45,680.0 -
You keep asking basic questions.
Why not follow the advice in post 8 so that you fully understand how this complex, and highly important (not to say expensive) process works?
And where did you get 14 steps? More like 84.0
