17th April 2012

So today I decided to just wait. No chasing no hassling just get on with life and wait for our solicitor to tell us we are ready to exchange. I cannot take not sleeping at night any longer.

Well that plan lasted until midday. Our Agent rang to advise that the Solicitor had reviewed the survey and wanted to see that the small extension we have meets builing regulations. We do not have any idea when that was done and for a moment I was in a bit of a state. He then went onto say that if we did not know we could arrange a simple indemnity insurance to cover the buyer. Phew I thought, so I got straight onto our solicitors and asked them to organise.

All afternoon our solicitor tried to contact the other solicitior, they kept ringing, leaving messages and holding on but no one came back. I was getting stressed again and wondering why the solicitor should be ignoring them.

Anyhow just before 5pm our solicitor rang back. They had spoken to them finally, it appears they were waiting to talk to the buyer before ringing back, would have been nice to have told us.

They will arrange quotes for the insurance, tell us how much and we tell them which one to go for, another cost for us but who cares at this stage. We also know now for sure that our buyer has arranged an appointment with the solicitor to go in on Monday evening to sign the contract and transfer the deposit. So at least we have that knowledge now and know that we should be exchanging contracts early next week, Tuesday or maybe Wednesday. So now just get on with life and expect now something next week.

Fingers crossed.
