Really resisting the urge to chase today! We send all replies to enquires from our buyer yesterday so keen to know now if they are satisfied. Is it too soon for me to chase this up??? Haha

We are also waiting for news of our onward purchase.

Might be a bit soon! I'd be surprised if the buyer's solicitor has done anything with it yet!

The impatience is probably the hardest thing to deal with I think. I just can't wait. 

Particularly because I'm a control freak and get uncomfortable when I'm relying on others to do something. I just want to get in there and get it all over the line.

I think there's a positive to chasing definitely - we've certainly felt like all parties are acting quicker and more decisively since we started chasing twice a week.

Although maybe wait a day or two... you want to put pressure on without looking like you're putting too much pressure on? Difficult balance but you want them to work hard, but not !!!!!! them off.

For sure the waiting for something to happen sucks! For me, I just hate not knowing what's going on once I send something across to another party. I wish there was a dashboard where you could see the status of everything and not feel the need to chase for an update. I'd be much better leaving things if I knew something was actually happening!

If it was me I would not be happy as its not free to move removals. My removals are going to cost me £3500 and if someone told me a few days before my move that it needs to be delayed my answer would be 'no' not unless they would like to pay the costs incurred with the extra few days they want to stay in the house.

These removals quote are in or around what I've been quoted so at least I feel like I'm getting a market price... But this is way higher than I was expecting based on googling months ago when putting a budget together.

I honestly think we're never moving. Just found out that our chain might not be complete after all. Our agent is digging, but at the moment the situation is depressing and incredibly confusing 😭

It is definitely the waiting I hate! I too am a control freak. 

Our sale uses 'hoowla' which has a dashboard but it relies on the Progression team updating it of course.

Not sure if that's better or worse! I'd start to get really stressed if they weren't updating it properly and it'd be another thing I obsessively refresh

I really want to chase this week but thinking is there any point as the last update I had 2 weeks ago from the EA was he had a reply from probate solicitor and not expecting the grant for another 4 to 12 weeks, when I look on other threads people are having probate being granted bk in a few weeks, 6 weeks today now the wait is something else 😭😭
