The decluttering, cleaning, vacating, pandering, nailbiting antics of the stressed out house sellers goes on and on....

New thread!

Come share and despair :)

Ruby I'd happily go with any date but our buyers are basically saying they absolutely won't move before end July and our sellers are saying they absolutely can't move any later than next week and so we are stuck in the middle being flexible! I'm hoping one or the other of them will back down tomorrow.

Bimba too right, we are all fed up!

Jayne - I think this is where the solicitors and EAs earn their money by negotiating! They won't want the chain to fall through any more than you. Good luck on agreeing a date.

Totally agree. You are being flexible over date so I'd tell the EA to sort it out.

Our EA is great so hopefully she can sort it today ... And then maybe apply for a job in a peace-keeping role in some war situation!

Thanks me too!

I was on the last thread....was confident we would have moved before that got to 300 posts. More fool me,
I'm still here.
Please please can someone just buy my house!
Please!

I remember you name, AP. I'm still here, too. House sale / purchase is still progressing v.e.r.y slowly for us.

removal dudes coming tomorrow at 8 am to start packing but have no idea how it is all going to work... i mean how do i feed the children breakfast the next day before we move - do i need to siphen off some plates etc today so there will be some available? what about washing up liquid - are they going to pack that too tomorrow? will they wait for us to quickly finish hoovering the house before they pack up and move off as i'm not sure the hoover will fit in our car with the rest of our stuff..... my head is spinning - much sympathy to all still waiting for movement. keep plugging on

Good luck hinky!

Well, the planning permission buyer has formally given up on our house .

We had a surprise second viewing from someone who viewed ages ago booked - they're coming tomorrow, so who knows what's happening there!

Hinky put together a box of stuff for breakfast/last minute tidy/kettle/tea/wine etc that you can keep to one side.
If you want to make it dead easy disposable plates are good then you don't need to worry about washing up.

We've exchanged!! I can't believe it still!
In the end our vendor agreed to break the chain and risk going into rented. Bless her heart!

Fantastic news! :)

Bim that's great!

Great news & bet that's a huge relief.

Would it be weird if I baked a cake and I dropped it off with a thank you card? I feel truly grateful to her!

I think that would be a lovely thing to do.

Great news bimba. We didn't exchange today :-(

Pleas give me a boot up the bum - we have a second viewing tonight at 5.30pm (terrible time with a toddler to feed and get to bed). I just can't muster the energy to clean up to my unusual sparkly standard - so sick of getting my hopes up!

We're also having a call from our mortgage vendor to deal with the extraordinary cock ups they've made in the last few weeks.

How's the packing going hinky?

Seems to be going well...I've left them to it and getting ny hair done....!

we've got a second viewing tomorrow. I've had the toddler polishing. At one point she was pushing glass cleaner around in her toy pushchair.

Going to trap her in her chair now with foodso I can iron my posh bed linen set.

Good luck! Hope it goes well.

Good luck pastabee! We're having a second viewing now and we have a first viewing booked for tomorrow - the first time we've had the benefit of the house still being clean!

We exchanged! Woo hoo!
