There are few phrases capable of getting a first time buyer’s heart racing quite like “I’ve got an update on your house purchase.” 🏡👀 FINALLY. Is it the searches? Have the solicitor enquiries been answered? Is the property chain ready? Are we exchanging contracts? HAVE WE GOT A COMPLETION DATE?! The update: “We’ve chased them again.” …is that it? IS THAT IT?! 😭😂 One of the hardest things about buying a house in the UK is how much of the conveyancing process involves waiting for different people to communicate with each other. Your solicitor might be waiting for the seller’s solicitor, the seller might be waiting on something further up the property chain, your mortgage lender might need information, or there could still be outstanding searches or enquiries. Meanwhile you’re sitting there with absolutely no idea whether you’re two days or two months away from getting the keys. 🔑 If you’re currently somewhere between offer accepted, mortgage application, property searches, enquiries, exchange and completion, and every email notification has you thinking THIS IS IT… Only to discover somebody has simply been chased again. Welcome to buying a house. 😂🏡 #Buy#BuyingAHouseUKr#FirstTimeBuyerUKu#HouseBuyingProcessn#ConveyancingvingHouseUK
