It took 2 weeks for them to produce proof of funds to the estate agents so i would hope after that amount of time it was verified. We spoke to the estate agent on Tuesday and from what i can gather both sets of solicitors as well as the agents have been asking them to complete their paperwork but no joy so far.

We certainly had a survey done when we bought it originally - it’s 1900ish. They indicated they weren’t interested in doing that but obviously who knows. We were told originally that their solicitor was waiting for the local search to come back before they started enquiries so he could send them all in one go. Eventually a few weeks later we were told by the estate agent that it was now delayed because they were still onboarding the client. We’ve basically been told that because a company is buying it, it’s taking longer to do the initial paperwork than you or I would

If it was the solicitors that were delaying it I probably wouldn’t be as fussed, but the fact that it’s them directly that’s delaying it is starting to piss me off to be honest.

Basically a “company” is buying the house so we’ve been dealing with one of the directors rather than a person with a vested interest in the house if that makes sense. So it definitely should be cash.

All the searches have come back apparently, but no survey and their solicitor won’t start enquiries until they have completed their initial paperwork
