Hello its my first time posting just need a bit of advice really, apologies for the loong post
Me and DH are buying our first home, after a lot of searching our offer on a house was accepted. Mortgage paperwork drawn up, solicitors contacted. The banks said they would start their surveys and checks on the property.
My DH rang the bank a few weeks ago to ask about the progress, was told theyve been trying to get the estate agent to ring the tenant/owner but no luck.
We were then told a week later by the estate agent that the owner is away until September 15th and the tenant has refused entry to survey the property until the owner gets back
DH got an email from the bank today saying as nothing is proceeding and theyre a standstill they might withdraw their mortgage offer and we'd basically have to apply again .
DH emailed back saying the owner is back on September 15th and if they could possibly wait until then as its just a waiting game for the owner to get back, hes waiting to hear back from the bank
My question is, is this possible.. to wait until the owner gets back and resume everything or are we BU making the bank wait
So baffled and upset as we're just left in the lurch
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
