How long does this normally take? We provided the final documentation to our solicitor yesterday morning, she said she needs 5 working days to draw down funds from the mortgage lender - but asked us when our preferred date to complete is.
We advised next Friday, and she said she is going to check with the vendor's solicitor and let us know - how long should this take?
I spoke to the estate agent who said the vendor wants to complete ASAP, so I just don't understand why they cannot agree on a date there and then, so I can start booking removals etc.
Do I have to wait a while this date is agreed? What is normal?
