Just been told that 2 of sellers solicitor who’s dealing with ours have gone on annual leave, my solicitor have asked for an urgent call back, so peed off it’s unbelievable 

Takes the PPPPPP 

Mines just back after 2 weeks off and im sitting on my hands not to torment them just yet.

Give them a call and see what’s going on 

Trying not to as I'm waiting on calls for the kids school to see if they have a place

I’ve got all this to do for my four when I have some sort of dates

Ive 2 to get in but nothing has come thru yet

Top of our chain (house above the house we are buying) has said they want to complete within 3 weeks. We are still waiting on answers to enquires for our purchase though and I believe our vendor is waiting on the answers to enquires for the top of that purchase. Is it even doable? Assuming they get back to us soon, fingers crossed it may be.

Spoken to my solicitor
enquiries replies received but need reviewing may have more enquiries as well
when they told me enquiries raised I assumed that would be for all searches so god knows

So it looks like the final loose ends are hopefully being tied up this week. I did say to my solicitor that I didn’t want to pursue minor items that would hold up exchange as I can see that the solicitors would just be going back and forth with no resolution.

So we are finally starting to discuss exchange although still have to receive, sign and return the contract yet! 

Good luck to everyone who seems so close now!

looks like it’s not today 😭😭 EA is telling me the sellers solicitor is pushing for today and my solicitor then tells me seller solicitor wants to complete tomorrow morning 😭😭😭 so cheesed off 

Ahhh mate ! 

Its gonna happen this week, Has to happen this week.

Pack, chill and get on the gin ! 

I feel like screaming to be honest, my solicitor can’t complete as she’s waiting on the cash statement  , I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ my solicitor have said she’s holding the funds so I’m hoping now tomorrow hurry’s up, but I bet u I will be in the same boat when something will go wrong 😑 

Argh it’s so frustrating, but it sounds like you are so close now. 

Hang in there and drink gin! 

I drunk to much Sunday so can’t even look at a drink at the moment 😂 think I have a 2 day hangover to be honest 😭

Update on ours, everyone agreed Friday completion, our solicitor has said this can happen only if our lender releases funds by then, she has requested them today...does anyone have any experience of how quickly lenders release funds please ? thank you

Finally got an update... 

Our solicitor is now on leave for personal reasons and a firm director will take over. Enquiries from our buyer have been responded to, and we're awaiting responses to our enquiries from our seller. 

Our buyer is having his remortgaged property surveyed tomorrow, and then they'll book their survey for here. 

They have, apparently, committed to being "keen" for a September completion. 

My nerves are frayed. Someone have a wine for me, the pregnant non-alcohol stuff isn't cutting it 😂

The funds I have been told take 10 days to release.

Depends on the lander normally.
Barclays take 5 days to release funds but can be sooner.
