The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

How much notice does a solicitor need to exchange? We have small chain and just waiting for one solicitor to ok something which should be straight forward! Just wondered if and that's a big if it gets sorted tomorrow then how long do they need to exchange

Same position as you. Waiting for one document which has been agreed in principle. Solicitor says as soon as received, we can exchange same day or the next day. 

Thank you, that's reassuring to know!

Exchange day and completely full of anxiety!! Hoping we get the call to say we’ve exchanged earlier in the day so I can focus on work and homeschooling.

It's Monday guys...
Hopefully we will all get some positive updates today/this week. 
I'm really hoping to hear about a new completion day today.

Is 9am too early to email and ensure that exchange will be taking place today 😂...I’m only kidding, but it’s taking a lot to not call or email or pester anybody to make sure nothing has changed since Friday afternoon

exciting! Have you already exchanged? We’ve never had any direct communication from our mortgage provider except for the letter confirming our mortgage offer. Everything else has gone via our solicitor and possibly our broker but we haven’t asked

Nope not yet, we're waiting on 1 simple query back from the seller but our solicitor is confident that'll come through so our Skipton Lisa and Natwest funds were requested already for a 29th Completion - we'll be exchanging as soon as that comes through though which should be any time now.

For anyone interested, our Skipton Lisa declarations were sent on Thursday and they've scheduled funds to be sent on Tuesday 19th so 2 working days!
Natwest certificate of title sent on 14th and funds ready to be released on 18th

Our funds were requested last Tuesday and we are due to exchange today. Our lender confirmed release on Friday but I’m sat here panicking that our buyers and their buyers may not have their funds released on time. I really want to exchange today so I can then pack the last of our stuff know we will actually leave

Good luck hope all goes well 🤞, I expect today is going to feel like it's lasting forever until you get that call!
