It's insane, the amount of paper work involved in house moving. There are a couple of remaining issues on my flat now, before I can exchange contracts and there have been for a few weeks. My soliciter has been fantastic, he's been chasing up the seller's soliciter many times and has placed numerous calls to the freeholder.

But they're taking so long. Originally, my soliciter thought he'd have the a responce to all the remaining things by the end of last week, so that we could inform my mortgage lender that we'd be exchanging and completing this Friday.

But having spoken to my soliciter just now, it's not likely that the responces will come today, and they didn't arrive last week, so this Friday is looking unlikely now. It's so piss annoying, I'd like to get all my stuff down from my parents, move and settle in and get everything sorted. This interim period is quite frustrating.
