Good luck everyone. Let’s hope we all get some happy news this week 🌻

Back here again! It's been nearly four months since we sold our house and moved in with family. Finally, we've had an offer accepted on a house we love.

It's very early days and I've currently got that joyous remorseful worry - is it the right house? Will we regret it? What have we missed? We sold our last house due to noise from neighbours after only two years, so there's a lot riding on us getting it right this time. Terrified, but ultimately very excited.

So finally I am due to exchange tomorrow for completion Tuesday. Do people do it this quickly? Solicitor's sent this email out about quick exchange/completions that have now given me anxiety! A ahhh I want it all to be done it's been soo stressful!

Only a few days between exchange and completion seems to have become the norm during the pandemic, and is sadly sticking around. We're meant to complete Thursday, and have been failing to exchange for over a week. Really hoping it happens tomorrow as the uncertainty is driving me mad with anxiety.

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow - will be looking out for good news!

Thank you...fingers crossed for you too. Yeah I think solicitor's panicked me with an email about how with short exchange/completion date all the extra work they have to do and if I don't complete being in breach of contract just out the Willie's up me so to speak 

Oh my god, that sounds so stressful! And pretty unprofessional tbh. Our contract with our solicitor includes a fast completion fee, presumably to cover the cost of the additional work. But it's not totally unexpected or impossible, particularly at the moment. Plenty of people on here who have only had a day or two between exchange and completion.

Hey @E@E_D_FTB; not sure if you will remember me.

Just had a quick few reads of your posts. Congratulations, I hope exchange happens in the next few days for you, for completion on Thursday.

I am in the EXACT same boat as you now. Been waiting a week for the other side to sign their relevant documentation in order to exchange imminently for completion on Wednesday.

Congratulations to the both of us for our new homes.

Good luck to everyone trying to make the stamp duty holiday cut off this week!

We are hoping that our solicitor raises enquiries this week after being away on holiday for 2 weeks.

Feeling positive!

Good luck to everyone else trying to meet the deadline this week! I’m waiting to hear where the all important document is. If it’s arrived or on its way to the sellers solicitors I feel positive I should meet it. If it’s got delayed or lost in the post then it’s going to be touch and go! 🤞

It's a nightmare, isn't it?! Will be very glad when this over and we won't have to do this again for many many years.

Good luck today - I've got my fingers crossed for both of us!
