It is now over 3 weeks since we went to our solicitor to pay approx £10000 deposit and sign the contracts. And 3 weeks since both the solicitor and the estate agent said exchange would be "within 24/48 hours" and completion on 8th March. 3 weeks later, and the other side still haven't signed their contract so we haven't got a clue when or how much longer. Their solicitor is now even refusing to talk to our solicitor or the estate agent.

Arrrgghhh, it's driving me mad...

I did up my house to sell whilst i was renting elsewhere. So I started the process off of selling and found a purchaser the minute I put it on the Market and for the full asking price. Hooray! 3 months down the line, the purchaser pulls out. 3 months!

In the meantime I had found somewhere else to buy. I thought as the sale of my house was ahead, things should go smoothly. But now I am in a chain.

I managed to find another purchaser the minute the last one decided not to buy and for the full asking price. 3 weeks later my solicitor can't contact his solicitor, my estate agent can't contact him, his solicitor or his mortgage advisor to arrange the survey. Looks like another bloody timewaster. So my house is back on the market and we are facing loosing the house we are trying to buy along with the deposit, search fees and survey fees.

I tell you guys something, I am sick to death of timewasting purchasers.
