Buyers Sellers Roll Call 16

[Househunting21]

Because the last thread is nearly full and I for one very much appreciate the space to vent

Good luck to everyone hoping to exchange and/or complete this week!

@shineysides

Well we are in! Yesterday was a long day but all went smoothly and we are all moved in finally. Spent all day today unpacking and only managed the kitchen lol

Hope everything's going well for others

Congrats 🎉

Congratulations @shineysides!! I'm so happy for you 🥳

@Getyourarseofffthequattro I'd definitely be tempted to view a house or two with the same estate agent, even if they don't really tick the boxes, so that they're aware that you're serious. I was warned that people might not take me seriously last week as so many people threaten to pull out but aren't prepared to, but it does seem to have worked... although the pressure from higher up the chain may well have helped, too, and my buyer's mortgage offer suddenly appearing.

I wish they'd just give you some info!

I'm hoping tomorrow brings enquiries being satisfied. I've got a consultant appointment for strange baby growth pattern on Thursday, so I'd like it to be done by then... then exchange Friday and complete the following week would be perfect. Our buyer wants it sooner, but he's left it a bit too late for that, I think.

I can't believe we might actually make it in. We started trying to move in 2019.

I'm seriously considering it, put it this way if we don't have an update by Thursday I will view any old shit they're showing just to make a point. Just rang my step dad for advice and he was like right email them giving them your explicit permission for them to speak to me and he's going to go to the office. He used to work there as their mortgage advisor so they'll know that he knows when they're talking shit. They just don't take me seriously. I find this happens a lot!

I really hope you make it! Sounds like everything is lined up. Fingers crossed for you

I have fingers crossed for those of you who really need news today!!!! I have one piece of paper to sign and then all done and ready to move on Friday

@Getyourarseofffthequattro Aw; your step dad sounds lovely. I hope he can help!

@Paranoidandroidmarvin That's so exciting! Best of luck.

No news here; other than our seller kicking off that he needs to know today if we're aiming for the 5th as he needs time to arrange the move. He says his solicitor has chased ours; but I think ours is waiting on our buyer...

I've got really painful Braxton Hicks today and I feel so heavy and uncomfortable.

So we have completed and have the keys...

But the sellers are still moving out, at a snails pace.

So exciting for u!!!!!

Congrats! Hope they hurry up for you!

I was worried about still being here when we completed and getting in the way. We have ordered a separate van to pack the boxes in the night before and then the furniture can go in the removers van the next day.

I could cry. Its filthy. Shit everywhere. Nothing been cleaned for weeks. Still loads of their crap everywhere. DH has taken the girls for lunch and I'm so happy they are at a sleepover tonight, I don't even want them to see it.

And they are still not even finished yet - I've been in and told them it's my house.

Oh no!!!!! Who does that!!!! I have been cleaning my house for a week. That’s awful. I’m so sorry. Why are people like that.

What did they when u said it was my house

Oh no :(

I’ve had my house for a week now. Finally finished cleaning it at 10.15 last night. It’s absolutely filthy and has taken hours and hours. I scrubbed solidly from 7.15-10.15 last night.

Sorry yours is a state too.

How do people live in such filth

Congratulations @TweenWrangler - but I'm sorry it's so dirty! Eurgh.

We had two hours of excitement where it looked like we might get dates pinned down, but then it got complicated. My buyer wants this weekend, if possible, but if not, the 4th at the latest. The rest of the chain can do the 5th, but want to exchange this Friday. My buyer's solicitor will only commit to closing enquiries "by the end of the week", which meant 5:10pm last week and would leave no time to exchange. We can't exchange next week as my seller's seller's solicitor is off Monday - Thursday, so would need everything ready to complete when he returns.

Tedious.

I hate my fucking life. I am sick and fucking tired of being told it's fine. ITS NOT FUCKING FINE. I AM NOT FINE. why does every fucker care about oh your buyer isn't chasing it's fine to wait.
WHAT ABOUT ME. WHAT ABOUT HOW I FEEL.

I have been living away from dp during the week for almost two months. I have fucking had enough. I am lonely. I am empty. I have nothing left to fucking give.I am on the verge of a fucking breakdown. But apparently that's fine.

I don't know why my step dad bothers offering his help just to then tell me it's fine and there's nothing I can do.

I just want everyone to fuck off.

Aw @Getyourarseofffthequattro, I feel you so much. I’m so sorry that it’s got to this stage… I exploded at people telling me it was fine last week, and I’m still in my current home with DH.

What options do you have now? Maybe drawing them out will show you whether you want to carry on (with gritted teeth) or give this a rest now and reconvene with DP? It’s really not worth your mental health.

It’d be so much easier if someone could just give you straight information on what’s happening. Even if it’s just so you can prepare yourself and feel like you’re in the loop. It feels like such a small thing to ask for.

Thanks @TakeYourFinalPosition sorry for the big rant. I feel horrendous.

Apparently the report was submitted last thurs. They now need more info about s single skin extension. Well this house was part ex'd for a new build. Which says to me maybe it weren't that easy to sell, and now the builder is selling it. So apparently they're trying to find out if it was signed off which I think is doubtful.

Apparently I will get an update tomorrow. Ha ha fucking ha will I fuck.

So my options are

1. Continue with current situation. Spend weekends at "home" (doesn't feel like home anymore) and Travel back for school and rinse and repeat for God knows how long. Our buyer is hanging on, for now.

1. Pull out and rent. Pros - get to live with my actual family.l and much less stress Cons - expensive and perhaps a bit shit (not sure I care what it's like, tbh!)

1. Ask them if they will break the chain. I am going to do this today and seriously put it to them that we cannot wait much longer and are now actively looking at other options (I will omit the fact there are no options!)

1. Sell up and move in with my parents full time. Pros - all together and it's free / cheap. Cons - unsure what to do with my cats (they have a cat) and will probably not last long before we drive each other mad. But it is probably a better option that 1 in where I might actually get ill or walk into some traffic.

1. Pull out and buy something chain free - a good solution but there's nothing worth buying. One potentially I would consider (this wasn't supposed to be "the one" hahahaahha) but it's opposite a river and I worry that I'd spend 6 months of the year in wellies.

I'm so sorry @Getyourarseofffthequattro that is shit. I don't really have an advice but you have my sympathy. This house system is crap and really desperately needs an overhaul.

@TweenWrangler Congratulations. I'm sorry that the sellers have caused more issues for you. Have they left yet? Hopefully once they are gone it won't be as dirty as you fear. Living in hope!

@TakeYourFinalPosition solicitors are just the bane of everyone's existance. I know they are allowed time off but why do they always seem to go on holiday at the most crucial part of your purchase/sale?! Does your seller's seller's solicitor have someone who could cover him and do the exchange if it does have to be next week?

Little movement here. We've had our updated mortgage offer back with the new solicitor's details which is good. We have part of our enquiries back but the others are still with the seller's solicitors and they are on holiday this week so doubtful anything will happen this week.

I don't even care what the answers to them are, the questions all seem pointless to me. But our solicitor claims they are important so I'll defer to her judgement. I just desperately want to move out of my in laws. They are driving me crazy and I've become so intolerant. Even when they have done nothing wrong, I feel annoyed at them for just talking to me

Still waiting for the lender to get back to us here, they are so bloody slow and we can’t talk about exchange dates until mortgage offer is through. Solicitor goes on holiday for 2 weeks on Friday so I expect we will have 2 weeks of nothing moving along.

You vent away. Shout and scream as much as u want on here. We are here for you xxx
