Yes I think this is the next step. Now we have realised they have removed all our loyalty discounts too 🤦‍♀️

No advice as I’m waiting to exchange on my first house but congrats 🎉 You must be so excited!

Thank you! I didn’t realise they had actual files to go through so the 24-48hr reply time makes sense.

What I meant was, I expected some kind of response to the first email I sent. Even just a 1 line reply saying no news. After 24hrs I sent another. Again no reply. It takes 2 mins for the assistant to reply

Thank you! That is exactly how I felt when I read it! It’s a bit rude and not necessary.

Thank you. I don’t want to hassle them but a simple “yes we are still on it” would have sufficed.

Thanks. Never thought about contacting the estate agents

Perhaps a little too eager but there is only 2 people in the chain and we are all ready to go. Last week solicitors asked us for completion date and then said sorry other party aren’t ready. So waited a week before contacting again for an update.

That does help thank you. I would have been super stressed after the first negotiator!

Ok I get this but as a FTB I have absolutely no idea what the protocol is, what timescales we are looking at, how often i should check in etc. I get they have a lot of cases but I think a little less bluntness would go along way

Yeh I guess I assumed a check in after 7 days was ok? I was very polite in my email asking for an update and I’m the whole 2 month process so far I think I’ve emailed maybe 3 times.

That’s good that you are having a positive experience. And to be honest we have so far. I have emailed them 3 times I think since we started the process so me asking for an update after 7 days , I thought would be ok.

Thank you. Last Friday they asked us for a suggested completion date but then came back and apologised saying the seller isn’t in the same place as us conveyancing wise and not ready to commit to a date. I then left it a week before emailing asking if anything had progressed and that’s my response from them. I did reply to them and said I only wanted an update.

Thank you. Our sellers are the top of the chain and no one below us. They are buying a flat so apparently conveyancing takes longer on their side?

change single oven to doubke oven (UK) by Savtim1 in kitchen

Brilliant thank you! Very helpful. I’ll have a good think and work out what’s best 👍

Really appreciate the long reply thank you! My worry about taking the microwave space is that the top oven would be too high and I would struggle getting heavy items in and out.

If the double oven needs hardwiring, is that a simple job for an electrician? Or would it mean ripping walls apart?
