have they said why the solicitor thinks it is too soon for the 6th?
It could be that they are waiting for searches or mortgage offer or something? I know that our local authority has a backlog in doing searches at the moment but if you had the 6th planned for a while then it should have been done - can you threaten to pull out? what has your solicitor said about it?

she said that it was all go as far as she was concerned for 6th..our buyer, us, new house and their new house all ready for 6th , so surely it would be much simpler for the 4th in chain to rent instead of possibly missing out on sales?
argghh am so p**d off with it..if it was me, id move out, honestly, its not on and you cant wait for a never ending chain to complete!

Have they said when they WILL be ready to move? We had a pain with our move - the middle of the chain kept changin their mind about the date to complete. I was so close to telling them to shove it - but had to keep my mouth shut as I wasn't sure how much I could bluff them!
We moved on the date that suited everyone but us - and we had to rent/store etc etc for 18 days - cost a bloody fortune.

well it seems.hang on..not the house our vendors are buying, but the one thier vendors are buying(the people with the moving date issue) only instructed solicitors 4 weeks ago??..if our vendors vendors(with me?) knew thier vendors hadnt made plans, then why did 'THEY' caome up with 6th ..and surely its crazy to have to wait for everyone???someone has got to move out at some point? othersise it'll never end?
just really hope our vendors vendors can move somewhere for whatever time as they only haveteenagerand apperntly not much furniture.

worst thing is agent didnt tell 'me' time scale but told our vendor beginning of July!!!!!!!F*K OFF

we are in a chain atm, people at the top are building and dont know when it will be completed - we have been waiting 5 months now. a few weeks ago i got a call saying they wanted to put date back from end of may til end of june so i told them we would only agree if they would exchange that week to guarantee the date. if they refused i said i would start looking around and it worked. if they had refused i would have started looking but not pulled out unless i found somewhere which would have been quicker. once you exchange you do at least know where you stand, even if you dont complete for 7 weeks like us! i also started ranting at estate agents about making complaints because people werent telling the truth, i think they got the message and we now have a firm date. sorry if thats a bit garbled, am not v well atm

well my solicitor had a call from our vendors solicitor to ask for exchange and she put it back to him as she said we would move yesterday..its thier bloody vendor thats holding things up hereSadAngry..people cant seriously expect to go on and on in a chain waiting for the very last person to move out..we'd move out if their was a prob for our our buyer and we were further up chain..and TBH am a bit peeved of with our vendor, yes they have 4 children, but two are young adults, one is toddler and another is nearing double figures, so it wouldnt be impossible for them to rent for a time..considering the sale of their house(our new house) has fallen through once already and they have 4 children plus them selves in a three bed semi..they cant risk losing this sale, nor can they stay there..arrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhh

evesmama-i only moved 3 weeks ago and the stress of the move was awful, the people at the top of the chain demanded a date that was immpossible,when no one elses searches had come back, then when we were all ready and had agreed on a date, the people i was buying from said that date was no good, but my buyers threatened to pull out if we didnt move on that date...grr.
why can they not move on the 6th??? is it just inconvinient for them, or is it an issue with mortgage offer, searches etc.
if they are just saying its inconvinient, but everyone else in the chain is ready, i would get your solicitor to put the hard word on them and say the chain might collapse if they dont move.

oh no..why on earth did they only instruct solicitor a month ago..do you know how well their mortgage offer has progressed?, they could have started sorting out their mortgage before instructing solicitor, in which case theres a slim chance that they can be ready, searches take about 2 weeks..how frustrating for you though..you need to know exactly why they cant proceed though, especially if youve changed your date a few times already.

Evesmama,
this move was quite stress free for us but when we sold our house last OCt and moved into rented. That was very stressful - particularly for everone else in chain. For us not too bad as we went into rented.

Firstly the exchange was delayed for 2 weeks due to ftb paying a large cash deposit and so launching a top secret money laundering investigation!

Then the same person cancelled their mortgage offer after exchange (against their solicitors advice) and tried to get another mortgage offer sorted out in less than a week. Well he didn't tell anyone that he didn't have the money till about 11 am on day of completion. By then all vans were laoded with stuff and ready to roll....

Result was everyone had to unlaod and move back into their old house (except us who went to rented house). It took 10 more days for the money to move and completion! So for 10 days we had 2 houses! The ftb had to pay everyones extra expenses so was not happy but it was his own stupid fault Angry
