the waiting game: managing solicitor delays without losing it | Ep 3

Today, I'm talking through the part of the home-buying process that truly tests your patience: the legal stage..

In this episode, I’m breaking down what happens when everything should be moving forward… but instead, your solicitor goes quiet, your emails go unanswered, and you feel stuck in limbo. Sound familiar?

I’ll walk you through:

✨ What solicitors are actually responsible for (and why delays happen)

✨ Our real 6 1/2 month experience with legal hold-ups.. what actually went wrong & how we handled it

✨ Common issues first-time buyers face during this stage

✨The biggest lessons we learned (like why you shouldn’t wait too long to start chasing!)

✨ How often you should follow up, and how to do it respectfully

✨ Ways to protect your peace and stay productive while you wait

 

Whether you’re refreshing your inbox every five minutes or trying not to panic when your solicitor disappears for weeks, this episode is your pep talk and your game plan!
