We went sstc on a house just before Easter and May BH, so understandably things progressed slowly at first. We have signed contracts but our solicitor doesn't want to exchange until the vendors give us a closing date. It is an executors sale and there are student grandchildren living in the house, their solicitor is waiting for the vendors to come back with a closing date, presumably based on the academic year, exams etc, which is fine. We just want a date! It is a rapidly rising market where we are so I'm freaking out that they will pull out and remarked, or demand more cash... any advice? Am I over analysing?
