I agree with @WorriedKirkels, @goodwithsaving. Our solicitor asked for warranty documents and bits like that without us even knowing. They have to do their due diligence and try to get all relevant paperwork. If they can't get it, they then have to check with their client that they're okay with that. Most of those things are just part of the process and don't necessarily mean anything. Just try to take things at face value, and not a sign of problems to come.

Thank you. It's because my buyer "insisted"

As a buyer I’ve insisted on all sorts (I think I might be an absolute pain to my vendor) but it’s because I want to check everything I possibly can with the person who knows the house best.  I love the house I’m buying (even tho it is an absolute hovel) and would not pull out. So far it’s had to be checked for Japanese Knotweed (following our survey highlighting concerns), one of the the bathrooms had been set on fire, anything electrical is broken and it’s right next to a coal mine with the property extension built over a sewer! If anything I am more committed than ever as I can see a real future for my family in that home. I suppose what I am saying is that as a buyer, I insist on a lot of questions but it doesn’t mean I am going to walk away, I just want to be clear on what I need to deal with moving forward. I hope that helps 😊 x

Absolutely agree with this. We're first time buyers and all we want to know is that we're getting the full picture. Currently waiting for some spray foam insulation to be removed to see the condition of the roof timbers. But short of the entire roof being about to collapse, we have no intention of backing out. But we need to know first to know what we're buying. I'm sure your buyer is just doing what they need to do to feel they know the complete picture.

Fingers crossed for you, probate has just been granted so hoping to chase tomorrow so they can confirm this then exchange as we were only waiting on probate 🤞🤞🤞

hopefully a progressive week for everyone this week

Good luck to everyone this week, fingers crossed 🤞 it’s a positive week for all of us!!!

We signed all of our paperwork for our sale and onward purchase this weekend so I will be dropping them off today with our solicitors. Our buyers are still waiting for local search and our vendor still needs to answer a couple of enquiries so not there yet but seems to be moving in the right direction 😬 x

Expecting my buyer to pull out this week over no roof warranty, just before exchange. Oh joy. (I stated in the Fixtures and Fittings that there wasn't one). It's a perfectly good roof and not at all a shoddy job - I just feel I can't win with anybody despite trying my very hardest to do things right  I can't do this anymore

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting this week and congratulations to all who made it. I’ve been checking in intermittently but not posting due to being in hospital for an op and now recovering. Thankfully all ok. That’s one way to be distracted from exchange and completion, but of course, not recommended!
