If you haven't exchanged by that time will you no longer be buying the house? would you be looking elsewhere or staying where you are?charlotteo1988 said:Ive given our buyers and their solicitors until 2:15pm otherwise it’s not happening. Doubt they will be bothered.0 -
Trouble with giving ultimatums you have to have the nerve to follow through , if not then you can become unstuck .
I really hope it happens for you and I'm sure you will soon be posting "I've exchanged "0 -
I honestly don’t know. The excitement of moving has vanished. So I don’t even think I want to move anymore. But I love the house we are buying and it’s next to my sons school.Laurelii said:

Fingers crossed for you to exchange either today or tomorrow. I was stressing and writing post griefing (<<That is a Yorkshire term for talking crap i guess lol) the EA and the SOLS then 10 minutes later I had the exchange call. It will all happen and you will have a massive weight lifted ! Have you spoken about any potential completion dates ?charlotteo1988 said:

Yeah, they have gone with it. They are selling two to buy one so I think it logistically it's made more sense for them to rent.badger09 said:
That's great news. So your vendors stuck to their promise to move into rented? As I said earlier, some of us do.jst1986 said:We have finally exchanged this morning and completing tomorrow! Feel a massive weight lifted off my shoulders now!0 -
