Supposed to be moving in a fortnight but still need to exchange - an I being blindly optimistic?

It feels like it's doable but all hinges on whether enquiry replies are satisfactory and solicitor acts with an ounce of speed in getting the report and contract to us to sign and post back. I just want it all confirmed so I can book the removals and tell the Internet people etc. Plus, packing all the dcs' toys up in the summer holidays feels mean! How can a move this straight forward be this stressful? (2 houses and 3 couples!)
If it does happen then it'll be 9 weeks from offers accepted to move - I'm being overly ambitious aren't I?

Thanks Gobbo! Didn't exchange yesterday... Again. Today should be the day although my solicitor has just informed me the sellers solicitor hasn't sent off their completion statement or early redemption. I'm not hopeful. Apparently everyone has now agreed to completion of next Friday. Didn't want to tempt fate so haven't started packing and have my three currently getting over a stomach bug, whilst trying to convince an autistic child he's not dying... 😂 We will get there! Hope things are going well your side?!

Guys I have no clue where we are.
Surveys back fine
Searches back. Enquiries answered
Our sales contract has been signed and sent back, and apparently they are just drawing up our purchase one.

Is there anything else needed before we can exchange?

Have you signed the mortgage deed if necessary?

Got an interim redemption statement and checked it?

Checked all the mortgage terms to make sure you can comply with them all?

Emaboo22 · 03/08/2017 13:54

No....not done any of them.
Bugger, still a way to go then?

Oh actually is the redemption statement is the bank stuff? We have all the agreenent in place
