Some of the essential gears in the process are basically hobbyists.
I'm looking at you, surveyors.

My thoughts exactly.
Pressure from my buyers who understandably want to be in without a huge wait, they're renting.
The survey on my house took a month from booking to going ahead. I made sure I spoke with my mortgage provider on the new propery and was ensured that because the property is vacant arranging a survey won't be an issue. Last week I heard the earliest they can do is the middle of next month.
I feel a lot of this shit could be resolved with a couple of good phone calls. The mind boggles.

Everything in the house buying/selling process feels like it could go a hell of alot smoother with an overhaul of how comms are done.
We got notified last Weds by mortgage broker that lender has instructed survey and they would be reaching out to estate agent that day. Only today do we find out that that communication didn't make it, lender says surveys says they couldn't get through. Estate agent says she never got left a message. So thats just a week lost into the void.
