So after searching for a really long time I found a place and have had my offer accepted. The vendor is trying to buy a property that is owned by the council and literally nothing seems to be happening on it. She has offered the asking price but they still haven't accepted her offer. This seems strange as it's been on quite a while and there is no other interest etc.
The vendor of the property I'm trying to buy seems like she wants things to move as quickly as I do but I feel the council are going to be a real pain. Does anyone have any experience of buying from councils in London? Was it a very slow process?
