We are pushing our solicitor and EA to exchange contracts this week. If we don't we will have to start thinking about contacting our mortgage provider about an extension.
The bank have given us a formal offer which expires on 23 June, at the time they said they would extend by a month if needed and that we would just need to give them three weeks notice. The need to give three weeks notice is coming up!
However our offer was confirmed back in March before the new mortgage rules and I'm worried our provider will say that they can't extend our offer afterall and that we will have to apply again under the new MMR rules.
Has anyone else applied for an extension on a mortgage offered pre the MMR rules? Did you have to apply all over again?
If we haven't exchanged by this time next week we will need to decide whether we ask for an extension and risk having to be reconsidered (and I fear we will not get the mortgage we need and then have to pull out of our sale and purchase) or not ask, carry on as we are and pray that we exchange and complete before the 23 June.
It feels like we have this dark cloud of a deadline hanging over us at the moment - that we are so close to getting the house of our dreams but that it could all slip away at the last moment 
Can anyone offer any assurance???
