Hi folks, joining this thread. Moving after 15 years in my current house. FTB buying my house and vendor of my new home moving in with partner so not really any chain.
Mortgage sorted, surveys sorted, searches in progress and solicitors have draft contracts. Just waiting for the FTB to get valuation survey this week (bit of a delay getting it sorted since the offer was accepted second week August). Buyers solicitors waiting for answers to queries from my solicitors. The EA who is selling my house has been fab, keeps me up to date weekly with both my sale and purchase. Even though I am purchasing through a different EA (who have not kept me updated with anything).
Hoping to at least exchange late October if not complete by then but that really is wishful thinking i guess.0 -
Well finally looks like something might be happening with mine..offer accepted 16th June, vendors had to find somewhere to buy which happened 10th July, hopefully exchanging on Friday for completion 22nd, seems like forever but actually will only be 11 weeks from Vendors finding, just seems longer I guess because of the 3 or so weeks for them to find
Fingers crossed for everyone waiting0 -
Exchanged today with completion 28th. Smooth process so far with offer accepted 25th July so around 7 weeks to get to exchange. Fingers crossed for new buyer happytails.

It's good to hear about a couple of fairly speedy transactions! Gives me hope that an October completion date isn't impossible!0

I'm with you on that. Searches have been initiated, anyone now how long the searches take to be completed?
I've also been advised to carry out two further searches for extra costs of course. One is for wind farms etc, and the other is for planning approval and applications within the last 10years. Has anyone else had this?0 -
Completion tomorrow, so all the last minute bits to do tonight, feeling panicky excited and relieved at same time. In all sale/purchase has been going since beg April, but did have a couple failed before that. Good luck all others, will update on how move goes. Smoothly I hope0

those came up as standard on the ones my solicitor did for me, strange. the wind farms didnt have any real information so the ones they are offering you could be of more relevance, my results had x proposed sites within 5km of x turbines or more which could just be small farm ones, working in that industry i'm not that bothered by them- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Swagbucks, Mingle, GiffGaff, Prolific, Qmee & Quidco; thank you MSE every little bit helps0 -
I've just had a letter from my solicitor -
"....it appears everything is in order with the mortgage offer. I have also received the draft contract/title pack from the seller and have raised a number of enquiries. As soon as I receive a response I shall be able to let you have my complete report on title. After that we will be able to arrange a time for you to come in and sign the relevant paperwork in relation to your purchase"
I've emailed for some clarity on the enquiries but does is this completely normal and going in the right direction?
We are hoping to complete by the end of October - don't know if I'm mad ��The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.0
