Original caption
Buying a house in the UK really does turn you into a person you barely recognise 😂 You tell yourself you’re going to stop checking your emails, stop refreshing for updates and just let the house buying process happen… and then five minutes later you’re wondering why your solicitor hasn’t replied, whether the property searches are back, what’s happening with the enquiries and when you’ll finally get an exchange or completion date. 😭 If you’re currently buying a house and feeling like the waiting is taking over your life, you are VERY much not alone. The period between having an offer accepted and actually getting the keys can feel ridiculously slow — especially when you have absolutely no idea what’s happening behind the scenes. 🏡🔑 #B#BuyingAHouseUKF#FirstTimeBuyerUKH#HouseBuyingProcessM#MovingHouseUKHomeBuyingJourney
