Frustrated at property purchase

[Charltonstrek]

Sorry im back again posted before
Im browned off after this long drawn out process Im now nearing the end and given my preferred completion date and transferred over my deposit and balance on solicitors deposit and have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for seller to agree to completion date. I know im sounding impatient but I needed a answer by today to get my preferred date due to getting mortgage funds released

Have you exchanged contracts?

I’m in the same boat. The whole process is just so looonngggg……

Not if completion date isn’t agreed

Is the issue the seller hasn’t agreed to the completion date or that their solicitor hasn’t confirmed it? Fridays are the worst for trying to sort things with solicitors.

Well my solicitor has recieved my signed contract and has asked for preferred completion date which ive given not sure if seller has provided theirs yet

The only thing you can do to slightly speed this up is to contact the estate agent and ask them to find out from the sellers if the date is agreeable or not. You haven’t exchanged contracts.

Yes i have estate agent said shes waiting for the seller to confirm and they was meant to confirm today so im not happy and now weekend here

I don't understand these drawn out purchases. We viewed 30 September offered same day negotiated and agreed following day moved in on 12 December. We viewed one property only.

This is no chain both sides

Every single transaction is different. If one of the solicitor is slow or useless the transaction drags on and on. If there are issues with the title or if the enquiries are of a complicated nature, it will go on for months. You’re one of the lucky ones.
