We managed to sell our house on the 10th of June then finally found our new home on the 15th of July, we put an offer in and it was excepted a couple of days later, it’s a probate sale and they excepted our offer on condition the house stayed on the market. This rang alarm bells but we took it, we love the place.

We are now waiting for the searches to go through, they’ve taken 3 weeks now is that normal?, and our solicitor hasn’t yet received the draft contract.

Am I stressing to soon, should I chase ?, everyone in our chain is desperate to get moving including us !

Hi Nanagem
Time seems to go very slowly when things aren't in your control, especially when it's such a big thing as a house move. When we moved last year I wanted to phone for updates hourly daily but managed to restrain myself and trusted everyone to get on with their jobs.

If I really couldn't bear going round in circles in my head anymore I phoned the estate agent - seemed to me that I was paying them a lot of money so I didn't feel as though I was imposing on them too much!

Conveyencing solicitors are not paid a huge amount and are very busy people. Ours was always delightful to speak to and was very hard-working; often I'd get an email at 9 pm or later. This was a well-respected local firm, not someone from the internet. I did drop a box of chocs into the office at one point when I hadn't heard anything for a couple of weeks, just to make sure I was remembered!

Hope it all goes smoothly for you.
