Pulling my hair out m. Been asking to exchange for 2 weeks and completion is next week and solicitor still hasn't signed off the file due to wanting more proof of funds, but won't tell me what. Due to this they won't send completion statement so I can't send money.
Why do they insist on leaving evening until last minute. It's making me very anxious.

So sorry you’re in the position!  I totally hear you and feel for you. Very frustrating.

how long you been going? 

Thank you. This is the end of a turmoil 5 month process. The solicitors seem to have gone down hill since the beginning of the process  

I really need to pipe down. We are two months in here! 😬😬

I think it’s frustrating whatever stage you are at .
im a control freak and made sure everything for my purchase was done and dusted ( offer on 4th November )by Xmas . I chased weekly . My vendor however not chased much and dragged out process. Still sitting here in March waiting to move lol

Same I am a control freak and I told her I did not want to exchange and complete the same day, but due to ask the delays it seems that is the plan, and I am sure they will charge me more for the privilege 😡 

I am just at a lose really as unless I get the completion statement by Monday I fail to see how we are going to complete at all next week

I will keep everything crossed for you ! The difficult thing is not being able to influence your vendors solicitor and vendor !
I pretty much said to my solicitor I won’t be getting able to get extension on my mortgage offer and with the base rate going up twice since my mortgage offer I won’t be able to afford a new application . Hoping that speeds on their work . 

I managed to get my vendors phone number few weeks  back so I am texting her weekly now for updates

Very tempted to try and contact the vendor directly but sadly we’ve still got a a bad taste in our mouths from them giving back word on breaking the chain. We feel that there is literally no bargaining power with them - they’ve got an asking price offer from buyers who are ready to exchange. We’ve moved at lightening speed and they just don’t really give a monkeys.

I know how you feel . Home buying is very emotive . I asked Ea to go and have another look at property to measure and vendor was there . I tried to be as overly nice as possible even though inside I was fuming 😂

My dream of completing by the end of next week seems to be getting further away. Still waiting for final enquiries to come back which should have been done last week. I think it will happen in April now. So frustrating but nothing we can do.

So a ray of hope in our long stressful journey of selling and buying . Today the EA contacted us to inform us our seller has been able to escalate the file and we are now aiming for completion by the end of the month . Our solicitor also informed us an hour later that she has received the last of the enquiries back . They have been outstanding for over a month (no fault of the seller just crap solicitor ) I think the seller paid to have the file escalated . Money talks hey . 

We accepted an offer on ours October and our offer on our purchase was accepted the same day . We are a chain of 3 with a FTB - us - our seller (going into rented) 

Our sale has been ready for months but the purchase has been delay after delay . Our buyer has been extremely patient but  over the past few months we have both felt anxious and frustrated at the lack of progress on a simple chain . I have been in contact with our purchaser these past few months and it’s helped as we have had a double pronged approach with EA. The same EA for our sale and purchase I might add . 

I am just praying everything is in order when our solicitor looks at the file tomorrow. Like a previous poster said it doesn’t matter how organised, how efficient you are,  you are ultimately at the mercy of the weakest link . 

There seems to be some hope we will complete soon 🤞🏽Hang in there everyone

Searches back and apparently all satisfactory according to sol! Apparently they're just waiting for feedback on last enquiry and we should be good to exchange! No date set yet

I may be losing the plot. Today I found out that my buyer sent half their documents to their solicitor, but not the other half. No idea why only half, they obviously didn't feel like doing those other ones just yet.

Two weeks to find a solicitor. Delay docs a week while they go on holiday. Delay another week because postage is expensive. 

I may have threatened to poop on their doorstep today. Not to the buyers themselves, just perhaps to my estate agent...
