First time poster so be gentle.
We are due to sign contracts on Friday and have everything in place, formal loan offer, insurance, survey done. We don't have a house to sell ourselves. The sellers are also super keen to get things done and have already moved out of their place. How long should it take between us signing contract and the loan paperwork and the deal being completed?
I thought it was simply a matter of getting the money transferred but our solicitor is saying that it will take 4-6 weeks, he can do it in 2 weeks he's said but he may have to charge us extra as he'll have to drop everything else. Our mortgage broker says it could be done in 4-5 days easy.
Am I confusing signing the contract and exchange or missing something here?
BTW, our solicitor is getting up my nose big time. They promised client based service but can't even seem to manage returning phone calls.
