Yes we are in a chain , quite a big one as well I think.oniongirl said:
Are you in my chain?? I was literally told things would happen before Christmas at the beginning of the week, and then suddenly we find our buyers' mortgage offer is expiring in very early January, and now everyone is saying there's no chance of completing before Christmas and our guys need to get an extension on their offer. It's ridiculous.kearamorris2020 said:
well mine has been the same as yours!! but it really feels like a lot longer!!! Especially when you have to do all the chasing from all side! we were told on Monday that the exchange would happen before Christmas!! but really i can't see that happening nowoniongirl said:
We have been waiting in the same state since the middle of November.kearamorris2020 said:I am in the process of buying and selling and awaiting for confirmation of a moving date. I have been told they are waiting for a few queries to come back on a property above in the chain, but apart from that everything is completed for everyone. Searches mortgages etc. what are the next steps and in experience how much longer will it take if the queries come back this week? it has been going on forever so i am getting impatient! i know there's a lot going on but getting info from the solicitor is impossible
thank you
We've just been told a move before Christmas is off the cards.
How long is "forever"? Our has been going on since July/August
I wouldn't mind how long everything took, really, if people were just HONEST. Now there's this terrifying rush of waiting to find out if the offer will be extended or not. Makes me lose sleep.
Wow that is so stressful and annoying !! It's just so frustrating when things like this happen, and even worse when they don't tell you the truth!
