Latest.....buyers solicitor raised enquiries about building regulation certificate which my solicitor already has plus a question about the fixtures and fittings (minor)
Dont these solicitors look at everything at once??? A week ago they were asking about boiler servicing records!!
still no news of this last search......0 -
Mine was 20 working days. My buyers were ordered in November and came back late January. All you can do is ensure all other searches and enquiries are done and ready for the local searches coming back. Good luckjonners666 said:Just been told our buyers searches have been ordered but not likely to be back for 3 weeks!
Also her solicitors are apparently being difficult with ID verifications around her mortgage deposit so the EA are advising her to change solicitors... when they recommended this one in the first place.
Very annoying and pushing us closer and closer to the end of the SDLT holiday!1 -
Congratulations to anyone exchanging this week !! Whoop!! Hoping to join you soon. As my impatience grows at a rapid pace I’m finding this group a good place to give me hope. I’m not normally inpatient but having waited nearly 4 months ( I know this is a lot shorter than some) I’m ready for the move. My solicitors pretty belittling and occasionally nice PA said they will be preparing the documents on the sale and purchase file for our signatures – and when they are ready we can sign them, once we have signed documents and have made sure they have any monies needed from us by producing our Account and Statement they can then talk exchange dates .. that was last Wednesday... not sure how long that takes ?1

Vendors estate agent rang to say they want to start talking dates....solicitor says bottom of chain (we are 4th) only just applied for searches.
I am normally a patient person but I want my new house and knowing I just have to sit here is doing my nut in 😂🤦♀️2 -
All that's left is to arrange a date and transfer the funds over to my solicitor. Hoping a date can be agreed today, there's only two of us and both very keen to move asap.5
