Owning your own home

I wouldn't be too concerned. I once bought a house in three weeks from offer to completion, this last one took the best part of four months. How many issues did you raise to be dealt with prior to contract? I know it can be nerve wracking but there's not a lot you can do other than keep pushing and keep in your solicitor's face.

Cheers. There was only a small problem with the outside drain (if that's the kind of issue you mean) but that's been sorted. It's not so much nerve wracking at this stage as all of our ducks are in a row so if it falls through now, it will be shit but at least I know it won't have been down to something on our part. I feel slightly better knowing that little bit more now. I'm just naturally impatient what with it being our first purchase.
