Anyone sold/bought a house recently, and if so how long did it take from offer accepted to contract exchange?
In a nutshell we accepted an offer 74 days ago........... still here now. 2 weeks ago buyer wanted £4000 knocked off, we said no.
Last week the buyers solicitor sent in a list of questions, 24 in total with 1 question having 16 sub questions (71 days after the accepted offer).
Yesterday our estate agent e-mailed stating the buyers have now requested searches to be done (73 days after accepted offer) and are also currently waiting for their mortgage offer to come in.
Is this sort of thing normal?
About ready to just pull the plug to be honest, we've missed out on properties because of this.
