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.

Why will it take longer? Usually a selling solicitor would hold these documents on file on completion. Clearly they won't have them in time. They aren't going to want to make a binding promise to provide something, within any timeframe, if they don't already hold it. So they are asking you to take on that risk instead of them. Your solicitor is right to insist!0

In that case, the OP isn't moving house then.
I'm not sure what the answer is here, but if the developer aren't prepared to move, then the OP isn't buying the house - it's that simple.

They are just extremely slow, that's why they saying it could take a month or so, definitely longer than 7 days. Probably these is based on their experience with a similar sales, as there is hundreds of new builds in that area.loubel said:Why will it take longer?
