The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

Cucumberjuice

After another nervy day, we exchanged at about 3pm!! Phewwww, the relief. We pushed so hard the whole way through to get this over the line - exhausting, and I think our EA and Sol are pleased to have less to do with us now 😂

Yay!! Congratulations! When are you due to complete?

Still here, still no exchange and not moved yet.   

We were waiting for our freeholder to answer an enquiry for our buyer, but seems the buyers solicitor hasn’t sent the exact query yet 🤦‍♀️

It’s the final query and still not resolved 5 weeks since our last agreed exchange date.

I feel for everyone living out of boxes and luggage.

It's just so exhausting isn't it 🙄 Feeling's mutual!

I got a call from the conveyancer on Friday at 5pm. The vendor has agreed to a completion date of 28th April. The completion statement was about to be sent so should be with me on Monday. Then we transfer deposit funds and exchange Tuesday or Wednesday.  The conveyancer said that the vendor had booked removals for 28th so pretty certain it will happen.

Fingers crossed for next week and good luck to everyone else who is looking to exchange then.

Hooray! More excellent news 🤗 I'm going to take the good luck too, even though the chances of exchange seem slim. Hope everyone has great weekends.

Our solicitor warned us that we wouldn't hear  much from her while we waited for searches to come in. Hopefully yours aren't  too backed up. We had to wait 6 weeks for ours.
