I will tentatively join!
We accepted an offer on our property 19th May. Already had a sale agreed on another property (vendors are going in to rented).
Last solicitors in the chain instructed 25th May.
We are a 3 property / 4 household chain.

All mortgage offers / searches etc sorted. Just waiting to see if there's one more enquiry?

Now looking at exchange asap if possible for completion end of the month.

So our solicitors managed to quickly get our contracts out to us for signing yesterday. 
They were going to try for exchange today but it's been delayed till tomorrow morning but fingers crossed it happens then before the weekend!

We've Exchanged! 
7 weeks from offer to exchange I feel is pretty good going at the moment. Such a fantastic team of solicitors, estate agents and mortgage brokers. Feeling very grateful.

Moving day isn't until the end of the month but we can sort ourselves out properly now! x

Congratz!! 

Thank you @baileykxo

The vendors solicitors seem v on it so far so should turn them around quickly, hopefully the rest will then fall into place. I'll have turned grey by the end of all this though. I'm glad we've found somewhere we'd be happy to stay long term though because absolutely **** doing this again

I know that feeling COMPLETELY! My search has taken a long time and a few people said to me why don't you find a 'for now' house and move in 2-3 years. So glad I found something I can envisage potentially being in for at least 5 years (and probably much longer). No chance I want to be doing this regularly!

I can’t get a completion date out of anyone rn. It’s so frustrating, I’ve tried everything I can to get one but haven’t heard back from anyone!! Beyond frustrated rn

Just got an email from the solicitor, in the middle of an intense video call, while trying to keep a professional face and not grin too much!!!!!
OMG I can't believe it! I'm going to pick up the keys after my last meeting at 5! Will check back here later for everyone's updates too!

Hi all, 

Is it usual for solicitors to charge for deed of consent waiver (for my wife not named on the mortgage) as extra fee? 

They also charging me hefty fee for dealing with 3rd party! 

Thanks

So it’s another week of 😢

we found out last week that our buyer hadn’t even had his searches requested (ours have been done and back weeks!!) because they’d not sent the paperwork out. It’s now been resolved and searches requested Monday (our searches came back within a week so 🤞🏻)

yhere are a couple of outstanding enquiries from our solicitor to our seller and then that’s all ready and everyone above is too… can we keep our 🤞🏻 Crossed

Sent a strongly worded email to the head of conveyancing this morning, basically our last straw before we raise an official complaint. When we wrote down everything black & white we saw how much of a slow moving shambles it has been. Apparently the vendor asked the EA if we'd go and sit outside the solicitors untill it's all sorted 😂

Honestly! This sounds like me right now, I’m wanting to go there and have a toddler tantrum until it’s sorted haha. Good luck!!
