Buying a house- advice is much appreciated

Good luck...we are in the process of buying a new place and selling our current one and we are three months in and it's not going as quickly as it could. But such is life, patience and lots of crossed fingers I'm so done with London...want out ASAP.

 

Hope everything continues to go smoothly for you @Selleri . It helps when all the people involved are helpful and informative.

I wish you luck @amancalledgeorge, and hope you eventually get there too. I've moved several times, and most of the time it's been fairly straightforward, but we're in the process of buying a flat [younger daughter] and the speed of it all is dire. I'm not impressed with how slowly information is being passed to us from the solicitors, and because there's two sources of money no mortgage] they haven't been clear about what info we've had to give them. One says one thing and another says something else. Daughter got a reply to her recent query yesterday afternoon [after we'd taken in the requested documentation] at five to three, and the recipient was finishing work at three, so she couldn't respond. It'll now be Monday before she can do that, and exchange is meant to happen on Thursday

I don't remember it being so difficult when I bought the house I'm in [also no mortgage] and it wasn't that long ago. They're cutting it very fine....
