Maybe asking the question suggests it's time but hey! Open to suggestions.
I went under offer in June 2024 it was hard to get a slot for the mortgage evaluation but I figured that's normal because it was summer. In November I discovered the sellers solicitors had been off sick and almost no work had been done on the file the estate agent was reluctant to step in and say c'mon sort it. The seller is older and not the type to push as she struggles with the tech of everything (EAs words). We had an issue with the survey as well. December comes we have exchange and completion dates for January.
The EA was reluctant to let me have a pre exchange eventually a face time viewing happened the seller was not packed or packing up 2 weeks ago
On Friday I was notified our completion wasn't happening and further up the same and me decided on the 31st I checked with the EA she said she's fine but it's not convenient and I thought you're lying, the EA have a habit of lying.
The 10th of February has been floated around but my mortgage offer expires on the 31st and it can't be extended the bank have said no.
My head says pull out due to the impact on my mental health (I'm not sleeping etc) but my gut says Im best to put a new application in as there's nothing this cheap and that ticks my boxes on the market in London.
But if anyone has any wisdom please share!
