The NEW waiting to exchange thread...

sassypurple

Looking for advice our seller had a boiler which was leased, she has brought the boiler lease out 4 weeks ago and provided proof of payment. Our solicitor is asking hers for an update OCE with the restrictions regarding the boiler removed. If I do a land registry search online myself will this show this up. 
Also my solicitor keeps saying waiting for balance of enquires from hers, 2 weeks to find out what these are, her estate agent provides letter from her solicitors answering these weeks ago I send this to our solicitors. Another email saying same enquiries outstanding which is so frustrating do solicitors not phone and speak to each other, sure this could be solved with a phone call.

Fingers crossed for good news for everyone

Arggh - after all the work everyone has put in no-one can still get hold of this seller solictor to just do the exchange!!!
Buyer keeps messaging me every 30 mins asking "is it done"

Your buyer sounds like a massive !!!!!!, just ignore him

Do Solicitors prioritise completions in the morning and exchanges in the afternoon? Just seems a constant issue getting hold of anyone in the morning

Yes, they do.  When you exchange, the completion date becomes legally binding, so completions have to take priority.

Ok maybe we'll get some movement soon then - still not a word from anyone

good luck, hoping we will hear that we can exchange this afternoon it depends on the top of the chain (selling a house worth over £1m) accepting our £35k passed up to the top as the exchange deposit

local authority searches delayed by another month. that'll be four months we've been waiting. trying to get indemnities sorted to enable us to move in a couple of weeks. one thing after another!

Just got copied into an email - my solicitor has made contact with sellers solicitor (apparently her phone isn't receiving incoming calls at the moment............maybe an issue you should get fixed??) any way things look like they are moving. Everyone is set.
Just a "couple of checks" to make (i assume that's just to refresh themselves with the file - well it better be)
Nervous now.............proper betty swollocks!

At the same time (this is like a bad film) - official email from buyers EA that no exchange today means deal is off.
