Owning your own home

Whats the hurry? have you given notice at your current place? if not just relax (go on Facebook or something), it will happen in the meantime you'd have another paycheque in your bank account to spend on stuff when you move.

Place looks great btw. You need a track bike now.

The firm has excellent reviews online its just the lack of response is worrying. Maybe im impacient (i am)

You don't need to talk to them that much. You just need to know that they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, which at this point is asking the seller's freeholder for the lease, making sure the seller actually has the title etc. It kinda just happens in the background.

I'm sure you know already, but make sure you request that they talk you through the lease and highlight and explain anything that's curious.

You may be being a bit "London".

When I first bought I used some random Solicitor (no idea how/why) from somewhere in the provinces and they were cheap as chips but pretty slow and not great on emails. I wasn't too fussed as I am a pretty cool laid back kinda guy but my wife had a minor women meltdown and drafted a furious email explaining why this level of service was unacceptable.

I told her to pump the brakes and give them a couple more days, the next day after weeks of non comm we received an email, and let me paraphrase...

"All sorted, its been great doing business with you, because it was so little hassle and you are so nice we have knocked a few hundred quid off, enjoy your new flat".

So yeah, maybe it'll be coooooool.
