was going to post the exact problem as below.
we (the buyers) went sale agreed 6 weeks ago and the contracts were signed 2 weeks ago by us but the sellers have yet to because they solicitor has not released teh 10% or drawn down the mortgage. He seems to be trying to find problems with it that are not there ie we got a gift of €20k from my sis initially when looking for a 92% mortgage, sis wrote letter stating she is gifting this money as a wedding present. He wants to get a statement to say that it is forming part of deposit and now we are subject to 5% tax on this - but we are getting a 100% mortgage...I just dunno what he is dragging his feet for.
Estate agent just called and was very abusive - telling us we could lose the house and we were taking too much time. but anyone i asked said it takes about 6 weeks.
We are both FT Buyers and this whole process is scaring the bejeepers out of us.
Need advice please how not to "lose house"
