We've put in an offer, appointed a solicitor and got the ball rolling on searches, but - due to a small !!!!-up on my part - haven't been able to apply for full mortgage yet.
The last point should be rectified next week, and we've kept the buyer informed every step of the way.
However, they want us to complete sometime in the first week of June, which - even if everything goes smoothly with our lender next week - might be a bit of a stretch for us.
Therefore, what I want to know is do we have any say in when we want to complete, as I'm worried we'll not be able to do it by their deadline. So would like to ask if we could push it back by a fortnight or so to give us a little wiggle room.
Further to this, if we can't move this and miss the completion deadline will that mean we lose the house or is the completion date just a line in the sand to aim at with these things?
They are also putting pressure on us to complete and exchange on the same day. This would be absolutely no problem.
Any advice gratefully received!
