We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    EA now promising exchange on the 2nd for completion on the 15th.. let's see..
    You know that EAs have no control over timelines and are not party to the legal work, right?!
    Yes but the EA is the only person who has contact with all the parties involved and their solicitors
    That is correct, but the EA can only go on what they are told.  They do not see any of the legal work and have no idea what is being done when and how.  They often don't understand the process and embellish what they think they know, but to be clear, they will tell you what they think you want to hear.  
    Let me think positively!!  :D

    Haha!  In a month's time, you'll be sitting in your new home and all this will be a long distant memory, how's that for positivity?!
    Sitting.. I wish. I'll be tiling the bathroom or painting while my girlfriend does the sitting!!
