    Congrats all.

    I've got two viewings booked, one for Saturday and one Monday.

    I'm taking my mum along and she is more excited than me  :D
    All the best for your viewings!

    @donutandbeer glad to hear you have finally exchanged it’s all happening now! 
    Fingers crossed for a smooth moving day 
    Thank you! And I hope your purchase will catch up with your sale soon. 
  • So this morning we’ve received tr1 form and contract to sign. What a relief. Quick question, does this mean outstanding enquiry has been satisfied? And what’s the usual timeframe between signing/exchange/complete?

    We had ours for our sale come through yesterday so think we are pretty much there but we are waiting for our purchase to be completed

    Called our solicitor today, he said to come in next week to sign the transfer and we're pretty much ready to exchange. We are, unfortunately, still waiting on the results of our survey which we had put off booking because of problems with the mortgage application (broker messed it up big time, check my post history if interested!).

    Survey is on Tuesday, so fingers crossed no big issues arise and we can be in by Christmas!
  • @ironlady2022 thank you for your reply. Oh wow, so we still could be in for a bit of a wait yet then. It’s taken us over 4 months to get to this point, in particular  this amended tr1 form from our buyers sols has taken ages. I thought it meant that we were good to go, but maybe not yet. 
  • @RM_2013 thank you for your reply! I’m hoping this means we are near enough there, how stressful is it?? Hoping you get news on your purchase soon!
