Congratulations @mrsbrush! What a relief!

Fingers crossed for some good news for you tomorrow @HopeAndDriftWood!

@MrsBrush finally! I’m so happy for you! What a nightmare it has been - I wish you so much happiness in your new home! 

I hope you get to hear some good news tomorrow @HopeAndDriftWood ! 

I saw on our Hoowla account that the EPC has been sent to the solicitors today, but I didn’t see it until around 4 so I’m going to call first thing and see if we can exchange tomorrow. I have a hospital appointment in the afternoon so it would be amazing if we can get it done in the morning…

No real news here. Our estate agent has corrected themselves that our sellers mortgage offer has already been extended to the 25th Oct, and if he has to renew, the next up the chains will expire and so on. 

Our buyers solicitor is supposed to be “reviewing everything” tomorrow. I’m hoping we’re then ready to go. I can’t see how it happens, otherwise. 

My fingers are crossed, but I’m trying to stay low stress, for the babies sake. 

All the best of luck @HopeAndDriftWood, with exchange and more importantly for baby! This level of stress is not good for anyone, least of all when you are growing a new life! Deep breaths, take time out and try to distance yourself from the stuff you cant control (says she who has spent weeks in a tailspin!!) It will all work out xx

I'm really hoping we get goods news in the next week or so. Our vendor's onward purchase doesn't seem to be going anywhere. We were told they would be going into rented but now need to find a property. Since August they haven't found anything. So our vendors are going back to look at other properties. I'm really hoping we can complete the chain soon. We've been waiting patiently and having to chase EA for updates. We are also waiting for enquiries from over 3 weeks ago so hopefully they won't be far off now.

I don’t know how some solicitors stay in business, the amount of time they take.

Hope it’s sorted soon xx

@mrsbrush congrats!! I’m so pleased you got there in the end. Hopefully come Christmas it will all be a distant memory! 

We are due to exchange tomorrow & complete Friday. I’m trying hard not to get my hopes up too much but hopefully after 20 weeks this will be the final week 🤞🏻I can’t see there being too much of an issue tomorrow as we have no chain. The only one I see is my partner not answering the phone to give the go ahead as he’s doing his first 12 hour night shift tonight 😅

We have exchanged!! At 4.45pm this afternoon - I genuinely thought that this was not going to happen!

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive, sympathetic and caring enough to provide a few kind works and put up with my ranting. I feel as though I have just emerged from the washing machine spin cycle!

For everyone going through the wringer - hang on in there. As one of my friends reminded me earlier, if it is meant to be it will come together!

Good luck for all exchanges due to take place tomorrow, hope that no-one manages to beat the success at the 9th attempt record!

Hooray! A week after us in the end. So glad you made it though 🎉🌻🤗 What a  relief!
