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...

At least it’s not pooping on your new front door step! 🤣🤣

Ohh fingers crossed for you! We've had a bit of a nightmare trying to send our deposit over, so need to try again first thing when the bank open tomorrow. I'm not confident we will actually get to exchange tomorrow now.. but we live in hope.

All enquiries on our sale are dealt with and we are ready to exchange early next week for completion the week after. I'm shaking I'm so nervous and excited, I can't believe we finally got here!

Almost there! Completion is due next week but still waiting on exchange. Sellers solicitor just waiting on redemption statement from other side and then its all confirmed. I feel like it is within reaching distance after such a long time!

5.5 months..... Started as a chain of 3, now its a chain of 2 after my buyer dropped out and I had to finance the house another way.
I am hoping it all falls into place. I do not have to move next week so its not urgent but I kind of have set my heart on the date so I will be disappointed. Suppose we will all get there eventually!  I saw your other post and feel your pain. Those who get straightforward house purchases and very lucky.
