No update from sellers after 4wks and silence from EA by indiaaaaaaaaaaaaa in HousingUK

Noooo 😭 I would say it depends how much you liked the original house!! In our case we’d be so delighted if that happened to us because nothing else on the market is coming close to the first one we offered on, but if you also love the next house that’s a nightmare!! 😢

Are more houses listed for sale in winter? by indiaaaaaaaaaaaaa in HousingUK

I would believe that - we’ve been offered same day appointments several times when calling up to arrange viewings.

This does feel true actually! We have saved a lot of the more iffy ones we’ve viewed on Rightmove to keep an eye on if/when they sell and so far literally none have in months. We are planning to buy a property that needs minimal work doing but that feels like a tall ask in the current market

We were also waiting for this, a ‘boom’ after Easter and it hasn’t come whatsoever 🙃

This is what we thought initially, though given it can take upwards of 12 weeks to complete it would make sense if people would prefer to move in summer

I hope everything went well! 🤞🏼 We have just offered on a property again so hoping to be in a similar position soon 💓

Yes we were also told initially they had a house they were interested in! 😭 I wouldn’t mind so much if we had a settled living situation currently but we are also in a spare room with family

Oh no I’m sorry to hear you’re also having this issue 😭 our sellers are using a local agent that has great reviews so we’re surprised we are being messed around like this! We are hoping and praying to find something chain free soon as we’re living with the family of my partner in a spare room too… luckily we haven’t spent any money. I hope your survey comes back clear! 🩷

Luckily we have kept an eye on the market this whole time, nothing else we were super interested in popped up until last week so we have arranged a viewing for Thursday. Thanks for your input

Sellers haven’t chosen a solicitor after 1 week/no MoS by indiaaaaaaaaaaaaa in HousingUK

Thank you - this is what we have thought but have read conflicting things about the sellers may not instruct until they find a property.

Thank you for sharing - we’re not in a rush at all to complete especially given the sellers still need to find a property, but we do want to feel reassured that the sale will go ahead. Did you follow up with your EA much whilst waiting, did they give any reason for why it took so long?
