Hi . We are in the middle of purchase and would like to know some information. We offered on a property in end of January and there was an totally unexpected delay in securing mortgage (which we have now) we are bit short of time. We have to vacate the current property by beginning of June and we have to move into the new one sooner rather than later due to many other things. Due to change in lenders we couldn’t fix a solicitor for conveyancing until last week. Searches are over and mortgage offer is in place. How long do you thing we should expect the process to take until exchange of contracts. Most of the firms said 12 weeks and asked for an extra 300 to 400 quid to expedite the process. Eventually we are paying extra 225 🙄. Any advice or experience regarding this pls .
sorry for any typo. Using mobile
