Hi,

We had an offer accepted on the 13th April, and have been getting things moving forward our end, but my solicitor tells me she has not received the sale memo or solicitor details from the sellers yet.

I rang the estate agents and they have told me the sellers didn’t want to get into legal proceedings and subsequent expenses until they have secured an onward property. My question is - Is this normal process, or are the sellers not really serious about moving?

For context :- we offered 10k over asking so it’s a good offer! We live in the south east and you generally need to be under offer before even getting a viewing with an EA. We have FTBs who have been patient while we searched (7 weeks in).
