I am fucking tired of the house buying process in the England. Honestly it is such shambles that I don't think I have ever encountered anything like this. Nothing is ever predictable, everything and everone works at random timescale and nobody gives a fuck of you as a buyer even if you are paying crazy money. Apparently we are meant to be moving next Monday but contracts haven't been exchanged, my mortgage broker gave incorrect solicitors details to the bank so they are having to redo some paperwork, the buyer of our current place has not responded for last week to confirm the date, the seller we are buying from has been jumping up and down to exchange and here I am with no certainty.

My anxiety and frustration levels are through the roof for last 10 days. I can't wait for it all to be over. I don't think I am ever buying another house unless the process changes. Just needed to vent my frustration somewhere

    Don't get me started on the cluster fuck that leasehold properties in England are 🤬

    I know your pain.

    @UnicornPoo 100% this - the amount of paperwork to do which duplicates data and word for weeks or months on people who rubber stamp it is totally mad, and we didn't even have to worry about a chain when buying

    @nibor trust me I know this. The flat we are selling is leasehold. The management co took over 8 weeks to produce the seller's pack even after paying £240 "admin fees".

    No end to the saga. We neither exchanged nor will be completing on Monday/Tuesday. Ended up losing removal so unsure when will be able to complete.

    At this point I just think someone kill me that might be better. Or give me some sedative and don't wake me up until this ordeal has finished.
