I agreed a sale on my house 8 weeks ago. The valuation was booked pretty quickly however, the week before the valuation it was cancelled by the surveyors stating they had had the case closed.
A bit of digging and a fair few days later agent finds that they have having their application scrutinised and need to provide more information. Guessing this can be very normal.
I also get an update from my solicitor and find out they haven't formally instructed theirs, but she assures this is normal and usually happens once valuation is done. This was all around two weeks after agreeing price.
Fast forward to last bank holiday to two weeks ago and I call for an update. There's been mix up with buyers paperwork with the job and it's being sorted .. still want the house.
So now nearly 8 weeks since agreeing a price.... we have got no where. I'm worried that I'm missing some of the best house selling months.
So really I'm after some wise advice about whether to be patient and relax or get a bit bossy and get it back on the market agreeing to take it off when they get themselves sorted.
