Home Buyers Survey
Comments

Just an update. I got the contracts through the post to sign yesterday. Seems I was close to exchanging contracts!! :rotfl:
Aiming to move wb 16/10/20170 -
I hesitate to burst our bubble but signing the contract is just one step in a 223 step process.
That signed contract could sit in your solicitor's file for days, weeks or months. The contract will not be 'exchanged' till the other 222 steps have all been successfully completed, not just by you and your solicitor, but every buyer and seller in the chain.............
Best of luck...0 -

Actually there are 221 steps to go until exchange at step 222, as the 223rd is completion.0 -
When did you accept the offer? It normally takes a couple of weeks to organise the survey and the buyer won't do that until they have an offer on their property i.e the chain below is complete.
The homebuyers report is the appropriate one for an 80s house. Most likely outcome is it will recommend some sort of maintenance and the buyer will reduce his offer to reflect this.0 -
We accepted an offer on our house in June, the chain below is complete. Survey was brought forward and is now done, nothing major was shown, buyer is happy. Contracts signed for purchase, just waiting for contracts for sale. Should be with me next week. Starting to get a little excited.0
