So we completed on Wednesday 27th. Been far too busy to get on. We completed two days before our mortgage expired. Was the most stressful day, I managed to lock my car keys in our old house after taking the keys to the estate agents. I mean seriously 🤦 one of them had to come and rescue me!
Anyway, hang in there everyone, if we can manage it anyone can.Debt free Feb 2021 🎉9 -

I have a very basic question that I've googled and cant find the answer to. I've signed the contract for my purchase but I havent seen anything to sign for my sale. I filled in all the required forms initially (f&f, property information form etc) but I've not signed anything that needed to be witnessed. Should I have done, and if so, what is it called?

Yes two contracts need to be signed..one for the sale and one for the purchase...TrudieinLondon said:I have a very basic question that I've googled and cant find the answer to.

It's called the contract, it's the the same thing as the one you signed for your purchase.Your solicitor will send it to you and ask you to sign it once the sale is nearing exchange.0

Thank you. So I need to chase him on that. He sent me the purchase one two months ago.

My contract did not need to be witnessed so this may be the case with you. Check it anyway.TrudieinLondon said:Thank you. So I need to chase him on that. He sent me the purchase one two months ago.
I only needed a witness for TR1 and mortgage deed.0
