  • Hang in there buddy. This morning I've shifted into a state of zen, after tenaciously pushing for completion this week it dawned on me... out of the EA, mortgage advisor, both solicitors and seller I'm the only one not getting paid. My new strategy is for those who are financially benefitting to do some work.

    As much as this pains me I got to the point that unless I did anything nothing would be done.

  • I'm being a bit glib but essentially realised I can't do their job for them, despite chasing everyday for over a week with no progress. I'll likely muster up the enthusiasm to chase next week but both solicitors seem adamant they're waiting on each other. Considering getting in touch directly with the seller if it continues to drag on.

    I understand where you are completely, its so frustrating at times, but it'll all be worth it!

  • We found direct communication with the seller really handy to push things forwards. We went to meet them again after the offer was accepted so we could agree a basic timeline and have a candid chat on where we each were with our own paperwork/plans.

    Gave each other regular updates so could kick the professionals into sense/action when needed.
    If we sent something to our solicitor we'd let the seller know so they could chase their solicitor to act etc. Also helped when the solicitors started feuding over an imaginary well.

  • I spoke directly to the person buying my place a few times. Nothing huge generally (although it did help when I had to push the completion date back on the day of exchange!) but it helped to know that everyone was still moving on it.
