Morning everyone! ![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Best wishes t
o everyone in house seller land this week.
Let's make it a good one and sell all our houses!![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Good luck with your buyer Ozzieclaire. They don't sound the brightest tool in the box! If they haven't got the survey, they won't have the mortgage offer either - unless they're cash buyers. So you will probably have to wait for that next.![zzZZ](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sleep.gif)
Did you know when you exchange contracts you set the date of completion. So if you want to complete on the 30th Oct then ask your solicitor to set this date. It would be safer for you to exchange asap then you can make firm arrangements.
Hope it goes OK for you.

Glad you think they're wise! I have had so many bad experiences buying and selling houses that I'm a big pessimist.
![Frown](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I used to be a compliance officer for both a mortgage company and a life insurance company and it was my job to check out fraudulent solicitors, EA's, brokers, applicants etc. After that I worked in housing and now I'm in property management. So I guess I know quite a bit about the process. Unfortunately it doesn't help me find a buyer for my house.
![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Hope you have a good day and the EA rings with some viewings.

Yeah, once again I'm rushed off my feet!
6 months ago the phone wouldn't have stopped ringing on a Monday morning. It's rang twice.
Don't worry I'll let you know if we start to pick up. Well you'll probably see me disapear off here!![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)

... ok - deep breath - here goes ....
mandy if you can feel something in your waters you probably need a trip to the doctors ![OhMy](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/ohmy.gif)
ooh i do love a bit of gossip - well we have to have something to keep our spirits up!
pmsl ![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
ooh i LOVE bouncy castles!! did the kids actually get a chance to have a go or did the adults hog it all day?!
actually the couple who seemed the least interested when they viewed our house (in and out of the house in LESS than 10 mins) are the ones who put in the offer - so you never can tell ![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
slightly late but Congratulations!! hope you had a great day.
oh poor you ![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
that is really annoying - to have someone who wants to buy but cant ...
fingers crossed you will find someone else soon. x
this is how i feel as well.
cant get excited, cant organise anything, dont really know what to do with myself ... i'm just sitting waiting ...
never believe anything you read in a spam folder ![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
yup i agree with the others - just ignore her!
ONLY 8 weeks?!!!
i would be beside myself with worry![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
hopefully as this is the last thing then you are nearly at the end - then you dont have to deal with her every again!
WOW that took some work! I wonder if there is a limit to the number of multi-quotes you can do?!
sorry if i missed anyone ...
sounded like a quiet weekend - did anyone have any viewers or (dare i ask) get an offer?!

Well our buyer still havent had their survey done!! Been told by solicitor it is only 8 weeks now as they count from when she signed on with her solicitor and was given notice of sale not when verbally agreed:curse:
Aparently she did not know you paid for a survey upfront and has sent a cheque which need to clear before survey will happen!! Searches are back so thats the only thing holding up the sale. F-ing pissed off as we wanted to be out but now WE are going to drag it out till end of october as we dont want to move in the middle of the month!!:curse:
