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 😭😭

Have you checked the probate register yourself?

There is a thread on here for the land registry - with a really helpful person who can look into for you if you have the number of the title deeds 

Land Registry have nothing to do with probate.

@catclaires @birdmadgirl8

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.

@G@GarretC

Ive managed to get a quote for £2500 with vat and an armed forces discount for a 2 day 200 mile move, I have agreed to this with bells on

Been waiting 2 weeks now for conveyancers to do their thing. The EA linked tracker with the Conveyancer is absolutely awful and doesn't even work.

Waiting for enquires, due diligence and contracts.
