Thank you ever so much, I feel after reading all the posts on here the past few weeks that we have had it easy... hows things with yours ? Any progress ?

Seen today that probate have been granted on the probate page, just waiting on solicitor to confirm it’s true, searches and enquiries have been done so fingers crossed it shouldn’t be to long now 🤞🤞🤞

Hi All

You may have seen my whinging posts pop up from time to time, I’m the one who daily got told exchange was going to happen but it never has for over 3 weeks now! 

We’ve finally got to the bottom of the problem, it’s someone right at the bottom of the chain (there’s 5 of us, we are number 4) had a deed of variations to sort out which was apparently done months ago but they decided to wait until nearing exchange to get the management company of their flats to sign it, so that’s what we are waiting for, I was finally told this on Monday this week and that’s the latest update!

has anyone had experience in degree of variations? And how long does this take?

many thanks

Thank u, I’m hoping it is as the lady has a Usual surname and when I have been checking all week it haven’t been there, checked today and it’s there with her first and second name so fingers crossed if it is true it’s been 6 weeks and 3 days since probate registry received all paperwork so fingers crossed 🤞

We’ve only gone and done it!! Now exchanged!! 

So much weight off our shoulders. 

I presume I can now start arranging change of address on things and moving broadband etc? We complete next Friday…

Congratulations 🥳- yep, you can start booking broadband and post redirection etc. I always wait until I am in to notify other agencies i.e. banks, as the mail redirection covers you in the meantime 😁 x

@MayMark Don't know anything about deeds of variation I'm afraid, but really pleased to hear you have an explanation for the ridiculous shenanigans. Got to believe you're close now!

I have just signed the contract and TR1 for my purchase. It all feels a bit too good to be true at the moment, and I just dread every email I receive incase it is my buyer pulling out. It's been a very long and stressful road, which has at times made me ill, so I am just praying that it is nearly over. I won't believe it until I have physically moved, so many things could still go wrong (a couple of queries are outstanding before my buyer will sign and I'm terrified of a buyer pulling out at this stage). It is possibly made more difficult by the realisation that I am not sure I want to relocate, but circumstances dictate that I must. Nothing in life is forever, and I can always return.

We found out yesterday we're not going to make the stamp duty deadline as our seller's new build has been delayed. So that's an extra £2,500 which is a bit painful to swallow but we had budgeted for it just in case. We're now aiming to exchange early September with a completion date mid October. Their solicitor was asking for exchange with an open ended completion (at least I think that's what they meant), but we're not going to be tied in like with no end in sight, but it seems they're now happy to set a completion date around 14th October. 

I keep telling myself it will all work out and be worth it in the long run!
