Oh hurray Pittcity hope things carry on on an upward trend.

Ellianne Fri 05-Mar-21 12:24:37

Congratulations Pittcity. Keep up the stamina for next week!

Pittcity Fri 05-Mar-21 12:12:13

They've been found and we've exchanged smile
Now to sort everything else out so that we can move this time next week!

Luckygirl Thu 04-Mar-21 18:36:46

Disappeared is weird. I hope it gets resolved tomorrow.

Pittcity Thu 04-Mar-21 18:30:12

Our solicitor is phoning from an unknown number, they have always communicated via email until now. Maybe they're not answering to unknown callers.
There must be an easier way.

midgey Thu 04-Mar-21 18:00:21

Oh Pittcity what a nightmare, shall keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Shandy57 Thu 04-Mar-21 17:51:57

Where can they have disappeared to in lockdown? So sorry Pittcity, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Mine took two days too, I wonder if the vendor had to go into town to sign the contract.

Pittcity Thu 04-Mar-21 17:18:57

It was all going so well.....
Exchange has been attempted two days in a row but it seems that the person at the top of the chain has disappeared and their solicitor can't do anything without their agreement on the day of exchange.
It will all start again tomorrow.
Aaargh!!!

Great news Shandy, Pittcity and Luckygirl it looks as though you are nearly out of the very long tunnel.

While there will be new challenges for you in your new homes at last they are yours and you can take your time to sort things out.

I hope your moves are as seamless as ours was discounting hubby's medical adventure

Luckygirl Wed 03-Mar-21 17:12:07

Good news is flying in - we're on a roll!

midgey Wed 03-Mar-21 16:19:47

Things go in threes they say! Congratulations to you all, it’s great news.

Franbern Wed 03-Mar-21 15:14:48

Such great news - three in one week. Wow!!! Hope all the removals go well.

Congratulations to Luckygirl and Shandy.

Shandy57 Wed 03-Mar-21 15:10:19

Thank you everyone, I hadn't realised I've been grinding my teeth over it, I've got the most terrible toothache!

Gagagran Wed 03-Mar-21 15:00:23

That's such good news Shandy - you might be able to relax a bit now! Well until completion and removal are done!

Keep us posted as your journey reaches it's conclusion. It's been a long road for you but a lot of us have been walking it with you.

So pleased for you Shandy I’ve been popping in and out and am pleased that the end is in sight.

Auntieflo Wed 03-Mar-21 14:11:01

Many congratulations to Luckygirl, Shandy, Pittcity .

I have followed a lot of the difficult situations that you have all had to suffer, and although we are not moving, my heart has been with you all.

cornergran Wed 03-Mar-21 14:08:27

Congratulations shandy, delighted for you.

Aldom Wed 03-Mar-21 13:45:01

Luckygirl So pleased for you flowers

Ellianne Wed 03-Mar-21 13:38:19

Yes, I always thought the stamp duty holiday would be extended. Our son's estate agent fears solicitors might now drag their heels a bit now the urgency is off. Of course the EAs are all about getting their commission quickly!
Our son is relieved as the person he is buying from was having difficulty getting removals for the end of March.

Pittcity Wed 03-Mar-21 12:55:09

Rishi has just confirmed the extension of the Stamp Duty holiday.

Ellianne Wed 03-Mar-21 12:52:12

I'm delighted for you Shandy. And so pleased to have met you in Devon too.
Pittcity fingers crossed, keep us posted.

Shandy57 Wed 03-Mar-21 12:11:07

It's a lucky week Pittcity, Luckygirl shared some of hers!

Pittcity Wed 03-Mar-21 12:06:27

We've just had the call from the solicitor asking for permission to exchange. ?

Shandy57 Wed 03-Mar-21 12:03:00

I've just had the email, I've exchanged!

Now to really focus on listing all my possessions in the garage, wish it wasn't so cold!

Wishing good news for everyone else waiting.
