The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

1616six

Why is there always something to stress about?! 😂


Had our TA6 through and under the part where it says about disputes etc it’s ticked yes and says this:

Noise nuisance complaint to *our local* Council

About: *house we are buying*

From: 'a member of the public' 

Date: 8 October 2019

Action: not pursued


Now this was 3 years ago but I’m obviously now worried there’s either an issue I don’t know about or a petty neighbour that is going to hate the fact we have 2 dogs! The solicitor has already emailed me saying she’s raised it as one of the enquiries to ask if we can have more info on the nature of it.

Seems odd as the couple we are buying from are a young professional couple with no children or pets. Just hope it’s nothing major.

Anyone else googling 'what can go wrong between exchange and completion'?

I won't believe it 'til the keys are in my hands

So our vendor said that he will think about it, if he will refuse that would cost him at least 20k , very similar poperties have already been reduced and still not selling + we didnt haggle which is a big bonus me thinks, offer was accepted for 230k and they relay on this sale for their onward purchase so we shall see

Just feel so sad they did tell us they might look at the market, but will still sell to us regardless even if they need to break the chain and we fell for it. They were really nice people

I agree sometimes people just say what they think other people want to hear.  Although in all honestly we marketed our property on the basis that we were waiting for a new development to be built next year and we were going to rent in the meantime but a couple of weeks after we accepted our first offer (first buyer pulled out for personal reasons) we found the perfect house so have ended up in a chain but we were quite honest with our 2nd buyers that we were now in a chain.

let’s hope your vendors will be prepared to break the chain

I’m the exact same as you. I seem to get over one hurdle then find something else to worry about.

i wouldn’t worry about the dispute disclosed on the paperwork it’s it’s dated back to 2019 and no further action taken.  Maybe they had a party one night and it annoyed the neighbors 🤣

I guess things “can” go wrong at any time but at this stage not without big financial penalties so hopefully smooth sailing.  When are you due to complete?

Yip, finally exchanged yesterday and can't let myself get excited for even one minute until we get those keys. So worried that something might go wrong, so much more to lose but rare thankfully.

When do you complete?

I'm the total opposite, we've got a 2 week wait to completion now and I'm not even going to contemplate something going wrong...ive spent the last 4 plus months worrying about getting to the exchange point 😂 it will be fine, anyone that pulls out now would have huge financial implications so hopefully it won't happen! Don't stress, it will all be fine!

Thank you Sensible me is saying don't be silly, thousands of people do this every day, it's only a few more days wait.

 I think it's lovely that you are on here encouraging every one else while you have been through the mill yourselves the last 4 weeks just waiting and waiting to finally exchange. I can only imagine how testing that must have been, hopefully the next 2 weeks will sail by and you can finally pick up those keys!

We are just waiting on our searches now. Out of interest, do solicitors usually wait until the sellers paperwork has been received before requesting them? 

Our did but I didn’t think about it at the time. The seller took ages (well ate last 2 weeks longer than us) to do the paperwork and then if got stuck in the postal strict…
