Wow @ShakerMakerGirl that’s amazing!

NoWordForFluffy · 05/12/2023 13:33

@Jayknow, yes, you need the completion statement (and to have paid what's owed) before you can complete.

@donica, I hope you get an answer and can sort soon.

Good luck for exchange, @HopefulSeller and @tealweasel.

Congratulations to @ShakerMakerGirl!

I've had and checked the completion statement and have paid the money. We're ready to go now!

@ShakerMakerGirl congratulations!

@NoWordForFluffy Ah i see - so best to pay it ASAP?

sweetpickle23 · 05/12/2023 13:49

Congrats @ShakerMakerGirl and all the other people coming to the end of their journeys! I am jealous 😂

Brotherlove · 05/12/2023 13:52

Exchanged today.
Butters first offered on my house Nov 2022!
I bet they are more relieved than me!
Complete Dec 18 😊

Brotherlove · 05/12/2023 13:52

Buyers! Not butters

@ShakerMakerGirl congratulations!

@NoWordForFluffy Ah i see - so best to pay it ASAP?

If you want to complete, yes! (I don't know if your solicitor would complete without it; they may do, depending on their policy.)

Congratulations everyone!

@sweetpickle23 me too! No movement over here!

HopefulSeller · 05/12/2023 14:12

Exchanged! Can’t really believe it.

FoxsSocks1 · 05/12/2023 14:12

Hope I can join, supposed to exchange yesterday a the request of the bottom of the chain. Who broke the chain and exchange and completed with their buyer last week of Nov. We didn't exchange yesterday and we still haven't because no one could get hold of their conveyancer, and now they have. They can't confirm if the funds will be available for the 11th when this 7 household chain is due to complete. If we can't exchange today our vendors said they will need to push back completion.

It's an absolute nightmare.

tealweasel · 05/12/2023 14:25

Blimey, flurry of activity on here! Congratulations @HopefulSeller and @Brotherlove! 🍾

Hoping to be able to make a similar update today but I'm not optimistic, radio silence. Told my DH to chase because I'm worried I'm annoying everyone now 😅

ShakerMakerGirl · 05/12/2023 14:26

Thank you everyone.

Yes the end of the journey with my Mums property and start of the journey again with mine after having my offer accepted this morning. At least I'll be in a position of experience after selling in this year's property market! And 5 chain collapses. Hopefully mine will be smoother!

MercyNursey · 05/12/2023 15:18

We have returned the contracts for our. Re house today 🙌🏻 just waiting on the buyer to have have all of his funds released. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for us guys

loopyloo52 · 05/12/2023 15:35

ShakerMakerGirl · 05/12/2023 12:50

And we've completed. 2 hours between exchange and completion shows they can do it if they try!

Congratulations!

loopyloo52 · 05/12/2023 15:36

HopefulSeller · 05/12/2023 14:12

Exchanged! Can’t really believe it.

Awesome congrats!

loopyloo52 · 05/12/2023 15:36

I have just been told we are aiming for exchange on 12th December and completion on 19th December.... wish me luck! I've got removals provisionally booked in for 20th and SKY tv being installed on 21st. This better not go wrong!

HopefulSeller · 05/12/2023 15:53

That sounds great @loopyloo52 very quick!

loopyloo52 · 05/12/2023 16:00

HopefulSeller · 05/12/2023 15:53

That sounds great @loopyloo52 very quick!

thanks yes it's all so nerve wracking. I am a stickler for planning, I hate not knowing for sure what is going to happen. It's like living on a knife edge the whole time.

tealweasel · 05/12/2023 16:36

Apparently our solicitors are still awaiting confirmation on something from our sellers before we can complete. I've sent a borderline stroppy email to the seller's agent telling them to get the seller's solicitor to sort it so we can get on with our lives. Losing the will to live!

donica · 05/12/2023 16:44

Everything is in place to exchange today!

Just waiting for confirmation to come back... they close at 17:00! 🫣

tealweasel · 05/12/2023 17:24

So apparently (per the sellers agent so, you know, pinch of salt) the information our solicitor needs has now been provided and the amended document on our seller's onward has been delivered but the solicitors for the purchase with the amended document now need to do a final review of their file so it'll likely be Thursday before we exchange 🙃

Got my work Christmas party tomorrow so I'll be drinking to forget.

tealweasel · 05/12/2023 17:25

@donica Did they make it??

donica · 05/12/2023 19:33

@tealweasel we didn't hear back! Will call tomorrow and ask for an update.

loopyloo52 · 06/12/2023 08:04

donica · 05/12/2023 19:33

@tealweasel we didn't hear back! Will call tomorrow and ask for an update.

hope you hear good news today @donica !

NoWordForFluffy · 06/12/2023 08:20

What date is the money arriving from your ex, @loopyloo52? Bet you can't wait to get everything definite?

🤞for today, @donica.

@HopefulSeller, what date is your sale completing? Will you buy somewhere else once you've got the funds from the previous house?

@tealweasel, let's hope you have movement today!

Good luck to everyone else waiting!
