I am confused - have Natasha and Tom already completed on the sale? The fastest transaction ever? #TheArchers - ThreadSky

I am confused - have Natasha and Tom already completed on the sale? The fastest transaction ever?

They needed a mortgage so I don’t see how that would be possible. The solicitor has to guarantee that the property is fit to be mortgaged so they can’t cut corners. #TheArchers

Agreed. However, there's no chain & Helen has already had a survey done, so I would expect things to progress more quickly than average. #TheArchers

It’s the searches, usually, and any issues arising. And then the release of £ from the lender, which often requires a final title search. And whether the conveyancers are on it. But this is a new build, title is registered, and it ought to be easier than some. #TheArchers

I bought a new build in 2010 as a cash buyer and I still had to have a survey (new build can have problems). It took 8 weeks to exchange even though the buyers of my house were using bank of parents. Are T and N renting their present house?

New build (as in from a builder) can be sometimes be painfully slow. Sewers and roads, planning queries… 😱 T&N do currently rent. #TheArchers

There's still, for me at least, the question of all those repairs Helen said needed to be made. If that were so, usu. the bank requires they be at least contracted for before monies are released. Is Helen therefore admitting she "created" those repairs? Would vml her to be held to that.

It depends whether they affect value/viability of the property for the lender. I doubt they would. But if Helen broke things through misuse, she should have to sort them out. Wear and tear is Kirsty’s responsibility but she should have priced them into the £ of the house. #TheArchers

Okay so Helen isn't caught in an unbased attempt to lower the price. And apologies, I genuinely thought vml meant very much like in text talk. It doesn't. You figured it out so thanks.

I've bought and sold a house with no chain involved and surveys done and it still took months. I bought my first house "exceptionally fast" in 3 months. #TheArchers

jacquicroftie.bsky.social•49 days ago

I think the fastest I ever managed was about 6/7 weeks. The vendor hadn’t moved out, but that was a whole other story 😱 #TheArchers

Ambridge economics - well capable of delivering results in 10% of the usual time.

Possibly giving us glimpse of how the do it in Canada #TheArchers

If you ignore doing all the searches etc - yes. #TheArchers

brendaselwyn.bsky.social•49 days ago

They haven't even exchanged. Tom asked if he could go round to do some measuring up. Joy was right not to let him keep the key. #TheArchers

Probably best skedaddle up north and not fret or overreach about this transitional minutiae Sgt Burns, the tenant is not moving out post-completion so don't get stressed.

I don’t know anyone who has bought recently in less than 5 months. #TheArchers
