Blotto17 said:So the sellers will be moving into a property that is a new build and vacant but they are able to move in with family for the time being also. They seem to be eager to move things along. I’m just anxious as to not delay them. A purchase I was in the middle of last year fell through as the sellers felt I was taking too long and put it back on the market again.I have asked the solicitor to ask the sellers solicitors when they want to move out etc but no reply. It would just be nice to get some acknowledgment at least.Is their new build finished and ready to move into now, or are there still works to be completed? They often get delayed!I'd take the 'we'll move in with family' thing with a HUGE pinch of salt. Lots of people say that they'll move in with family/friends/rented to break a chain but rarely do when the reality of the extra stress and costs hit them.5

Have just rang the solicitors to get any update/info. Spoke to receptionist who had a look out at the file. She said the enquires were sent out today. No other updates. No estimated date of completion or anything like that. Just sit tight for now I guess. I’ve emailed the estate agent to tell her what I’ve done. In case the sellers were getting impatient and thinking things are not moving forward0
