Yup ....


Buy a house 
Move 200 miles 
Move the kids schools 
Impending deployment of Mr Monster
Then the ops 

Just a little bit of stress.

Just a little bit of stress…. bit of an understatement 😬 

Good luck for this week so close now 😁 🤞x

Good luck to everyone waiting to exchange and hoping to complete this Friday. It's quite nerve wracking have things so up in the air close to the intended completion date

Completely agree! Update from our solicitor this morning is that solicitor acting for the lower part of the chain is only back from leave today so looks like exchange is off again today for us….might even put in doubt completion for Friday 😠 

Im not sure my nerves can take much more 😬 🤯 🙄

Uff, we've not had an update yet, our solicitor hasn't responded to our emails from last week so will have to call. Have you transferred over the funds?

Me ? 

I paid mine 3 weeks ago.

My buying has been a bit different as its a repo and its dealing with banks rather than home owners.

We're going to view the house again to measure up. We've never had a floorplan for the property so I've drawn up what I think is correct and we can fill in the gaps.

Any top tips for what we should be looking out for on second viewing (we've already offered, accepted, and are mid-process). We don't want to take the pee and be really intrusive but our main aim is to measure the house, windows (as we'll be replacing) and the radiators (also will be replacing) just so we can start to get an idea of cost (not going to order anything until we're actually in!)

I also need to look in a handful of rooms because I actually didn't even look when we viewed (like the utility room) though my partner did!

Ah I see, we've not transferred ours yet because our solicitor hasn't said anything about it despite us asking. Seems a bit odd considering the time frames but this is my first purchase so I don't know.......

@Monsternextdoor Best of luck!! 🤞

@mortgage_noob I hope you hear from them soon. 

I got annoyed yesterday at all the murky comms, so sent two really clear emails... one to our solicitor asking if the buyer's solicitor was waiting for anything from us, and one to our estate agent asking for an update on our buyer's mortgage application. 

Both have replied and completely avoided the questions 😡

As far as I *know*, the rest of the chain is considering their options after being told by our estate agent that there are leasehold enquiries outstanding which will take "several weeks" to resolve, at least, and that our buyer needs a second mortgage valuation this week... 

But the solicitors don't seem aware of any outstanding leasehold enquiries, and the estate agent has said she hasn't talked to the buyer since last week so doesn't know if the initial mortgage valuation went ahead last week. 

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

This is my first purchase too, We got a email breaking down the payment details and then a letter delivered that had the sort codes etc on them.

Id speak to them as they cant do much unless it's all paid up !
