After working my butt off so that we could get to exchange this week the buyers are saying they can't return their contract until Monday :eek: Apparently it has been posted to them so they won't receive it until tomorrow and won't be able to post it until Friday :mad:

Has their solicitor not heard of email! Our contract report was emailed to us and we printed it off ourselves.

I did suggest this to our buyer but have not had a reply :mad:

I despair...

...although a large glass of red is helping to take the edge off.

Meh

You might be right Beanie.

I nearly have... several times. Although, as far as house moving issues go we've got off quite lightly I think.

It looks as though we will be exchanging tomorrow after all :eek:

I was very disappointed yesterday when I heard our Buyers couldn't get the contract back until Monday. Several text messages were drafted and then deleted as I asked myself whether it was reasonable to push them to move more quickly. I didn't send anything in the end deciding a few more days of waiting wouldn't kill me.

However, when I spoke to our Vendor to update her she kicked off! I think the stress of it all has just got too much for her. She is very unhappy that we haven't exchanged yet and feels that the time now between the exchange and completion dates is too short for her to make the move. She wants to push the completion date on :eek:

We can't do this because of Mr F's work commitments and because our Buyers have booked a holiday (I knew that would come back to haunt us) and Buyers' mortgage offer will expire and...and....and...

So, after several anxious telephone calls back and forth, our Buyers have agreed to sign the contract when they receive it today and drive it to their solicitor early tomorrow morning - a round trip of 100 miles! I bet they use a solicitor closer to home next time

I've left messages for my solicitor to give her the heads up and check that she is able to do her part but nothing heard back yet.

Mr Buyer let slip a couple of things during our conversations which gave me a justifiable opportunity to talk about the elephant in the room. Their situation will be changing but not until after completion and they have control over what happens. There are many factors which mean it's critical for them to complete soon but none that should cause us any difficulties. What a relief

Feeling a bit shell-shocked now. Just hope it does happen tomorrow otherwise I think all bets will be off.

Remind me, why did I think it was a good idea to move.

More wine will be needed later I think
