[Sundae]

The offer had been made and accepted, but next comes the survey.
This needs to be booked, carried out and written up, then submitted to the buyer's lender to ensure they are happy to issue a mortgage on this specific property.

Then there are the solicitors, who take their own sweet time doing everything. Searching land deeds and titles and things (all very mysterious to me). And then getting all of this together for the estate agents, who also - suddenly - have to do mysterious things and treat you (as a buyer) as a low priority now they know you're hooked.

I may be wrong.
But certainly the acceptance was made on Monday and we haven't heard anything back since. So as surveyors and solicitors don't work weekends as far as I know, the week is ticking away fast.

I'll keep you updated!
