    We are due an update today but I imagine it will be the exact same as last week, which is nothing!

    Good luck to all this week, hoping for some good news for all of us!

    Yeah, pretty sure we'll not be completing by the end of this month, expecting yet another week of no updates.

  • I’ve been lurking on this thread for a while and thought I’d jump on! 
    Hope everyone waiting for some news this week gets something positive.. 
    we are currently on the 19th week since offer was accepted and a chain of 3 properties. Everything done our end and I believe the rest of the chain is ready... we haven’t had contracts to sign yet, does anyone know at what point these are sent out?? We are desperate to exchange and complete ASAP! I think this has got to be the worst bit... waiting and waiting.. 
    Forever refreshing emails and waiting for phone calls and then nothing!!!

    So our vendor is going ahead without the asbestos report for her onward purchase (she is cash buyer) hoping we will exchange this week! 
    Won’t hold my breath though just incase anymore surprises come up!!
