PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! 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. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I have been mentally willing my solicitors to email me all day- no dice!I will be ringing them tomorrow for an update- we are aiming for 23rd April for completion so I understand we aren’t in a time crunch yet but I would prefer to be over cautious!Last I heard from them was the 17th of the month & I emailed them on the 22nd with a copy of our homebuyers report- I understand they’re likely incredibly busy this week but I have to remind myself that we are important too! We have arranged time off around our expected completion date and although I have some wiggle room (okay lots of wiggle room! I booked the whole month off...) I would still like a little more info!1
