At long last today a completion date of 10 Sept was proposed, so I assume 3 Sept would be exchange. Not getting too excited until it is confirmed but I am looking forward to booking moving van

I think there is a few of us with 10th for completion 😁 although I’m not confident in my buyers position so just seeing what happens this week 😬 x

Also have been given a completion date for 10th! Was due to complete last month and paid the deposit then the sellers new house fell through. Fingers crossed this time goes smoothly 

Good luck 🤞 and looks like I won’t be completing with you guys after all as my buyers solicitor is rubbish and they have made no progress in 4 weeks 😠 

I’m excited for everyone else and looking forward to following all of your exchange & completion updates in the hope that it may soon be us in the not so distant future 😁 x

Ahhh no !! !

Whats happened ?

Also aiming for the 10th but just found out that our solicitor (who has been the slowest point in this whole saga) is also the solicitor for the owners of the  house that our vendor is purchasing and our vendor had said that his purchase was going extremely slowly even though all sellers in chain want it to go quickly (top of chain is a landlord). Vendor has said he'd moved into temporary accommodation but we don't want to have him to do that if it's not necessary. 

Our solicitor claims she has emailed the vendors solicitors for completion dates, but I'm doubtful now as she would essentially be pressuring herself to complete at the top of the chain and she's got a history of saying she has done things, but then not doing them. E.g she'd do things like claim we hadn't received responses to enquiries but then we'd find out from EA (that responses were sent a month earlier. She only reviewed them once we had 'ammunition' and could say that we knew she had them, same with second round of enquiries.  She'd also say things like she'd sent enquiries but then 2 weeks later she'd say she hadn't yet and  was just about to. Nightmare.

That seems like a massive conflict of interest! How can she advocate for you fully if she's also meant to be advocating for someone else in the same chain?!

Hope it all gets resolved for you. Are the EA any good, at least?

Still waiting to exchange… keep saying they are waiting for the vendors solicitors to confirm they want to exchange. They have however agreed on Friday a week ago so… it’s starting to make me nervous. I’ve done all the chasing i can do and the vendor said they were told they would exchange yesterday or today! But there’s not long left now until end of day!

Yeh, we call the EA rather than our solicitors for an update sometimes as we actually get more info from them whereas our emails to the solicitor seem to go into a black hole and calls are full of empty promises. The EA have  told our solicitor that we're all waiting for her basically.

Well that's something at least, although it's terrible that she's holding things up considering it's letting down two clients! Hope it all gets resolved quickly for you.
