i'm new to this housebuying game. We had an offer accepted on a house at the beginning of April, had survey done and two further investigations of which we have the report and there is nothing which the mortgage company are insisting is done before we purchase.
I received a mail from my solicitor on the 28th of May stating they are awaiting search results and replies to enquiries from the sellers solicitors. Once they have these they will send out a property report with the documents for signing. When these signed documents are returned then we can agree a completion date.
We are in rented accomodation and our lease is up for renewal soon, so it is becoming increasingly important for us to arrange a date for exchange/completion as if it is beyond our lease we will have to address this.(we will be faced with signing a 6 month lease and we want to avoid this)
Is my solicitor dragging her heels, or do these things always move at this pace? I don't want to prod her if things are progressing as they should but then i don't want to leave her to it if she could be moving things along faster.
