Waiting for buyers survey

Hi
Buyers RICS surveyor came out last Monday and not heard anything back from buyers. Chased EA they said it can take up to 2 weeks. Is that about right just seems to be taking a very long time. 2 bed 40 year old terrace hardly a huge house. EA told me today me to send conveyancing forms back but I don't see the point of paying a solicitor anything if I don't know what's happening with the survey. I have got a solicitor and paperwork mostly filled in just not sent them any cash.
My buyers are cash buyers so no mortgage company involved.
Thanks - it's getting painfully frustrating.

Why are you prevaricating, & holding up the sale, for the sake a a few conveyancing costs.
Your buyer is likely to be mightily p**ed off if you don't keep the process moving.
You might never hear anything about the survey. It belongs to the buyer, not you. If the buyer wants to share it with you that will be because they want to renegotiate price based on the survey.
No price re-negotiation means no need to share it with you/ Stop 'waiting for buyer's survey' that will hopefully never come!1 -
Well because my seller says he won't instruct his solicitor until he hears survey on my house is ok. I'm not intentionally holding up the process just getting different opinions on what order things are done in.0

No renegotiation= no need to share it with you, stop 'waiting for buyer's survey' that will hopefully never come!
Harsh post but I agree.
Thanks0 -

I did let my vendor's EA know I was satisfied with my survey and would be proceeding without further ado. Little did I know, caveat emptor!

Now I'm confused: are you the buyer or the seller.......?angelasocks said:Well because my seller says he won't instruct his solicitor until he hears survey on my house is ok. I'm not intentionally holding up the process just getting different opinions on what order things are done in.
If you're the buyer, waiting for your survey, then phone your surveyor.0
