The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

@HopeAndDriftWood have a good move in day!

We just had an email from our solicitor to suggest dates!

We're just waiting on the following (good shout @Hebblethwaite)

• Updated onward purchase contract - original had my name spelled wrong
• 1 outstanding enquiry which my solicitor is already in communication with our vendors solicitor about
• Confirmation that our buyers solicitor has satisfied their queries

That's it!

Would it be too soon to suggest that we exchange next week for completion the following week?

I have no real idea of how long anything takes. I'm calling my vendors EA (she has been the most communicative) to see what she thinks as she obviously has more experience than me. She can also update me on the vendors situation, but last I hears she just had one query outstanding too.

OMG, it's just so exciting! I will be over the moon if we can exchange next week! Good thing we've started packing!

I don't even know what's going on now. I really hate having to contact my solicitor for updates. I don't know what could be holding it up at this stage when we are potentially days away from exchange.

At least one thing is off the list - our buyers solicitor are now done with no outstanding queries and our buyers are just waiting for us.
I've had no update on our enquiries or our vendors enquiries.

I really just want to have a ball park. Could it still be next week or are we weeks away? As far as I'm aware, everyone in the chain is as eager as I am to move ASAP.

I think I mentioned before that my solicitor doesn't work on Wednesdays. If I don't hear from her by later today, I'm just going to follow up to find out where we are.

To add to my stress, yesterday my husband told me that the house was back as showing for sale on Rightmove! I called the EA immediately, and they said they had a system migration which accidently put all of their recently sold properties back as for sale. They were obviously telling anyone who called that it was SSTC and that it was a mistake but my goodness that was a stressful couple of minutes! Makes me wonder how many calls they had!

Just as I was beginning to lose hope, I just had an email from my solicitor to ask for a completion date of next week Friday! Hopefully our vendors can do that date!

We have booked the septic tank survey in for next Tuesday. So hopefully should have the full report by end of next week and hopefully it comes back fine. 

Still hoping for the 17th December but who knows. My partner thinks it won’t be then and he’s usually right about everything so probably won’t be until next year knowing our luck. 

Good luck for anyone completing today.

Just got a email to say solicitors at the top of the chain think January would be more feasible than 17th Dec. 

Heartbroken. Really wanted to move this year!!! 

Do I keep trying to get them to push for the 17th or just say ok we will go for January.

How many are in your chain? Do you know what's outstanding?
