Buying a house takes an unnecessary length of time.
31 October offers were accepted.
(Bit of background, we are buying an empty house, the seller of the empty house is buying our flat to rent out)
Tomorrow will be 3 months since this was started and still have no move date.
Initially when we instructed solicitors we asked if 7 Feb was doable, and told yeah no dramas. That's next week and we haven't heard much from them in the last few weeks.
How soon can exchanges and complete happen? (As in, do you get a call from the sols saying "ready when you are, chump" or do they milk more time)
We're in a similar boat. Offer accepted mid October, and no exchange in sight. For us it was bullshit from the banks meaning that mortgage has taken forever to come through. Only just getting around to getting the survey done. Long
