Ok, just want to know if this sounds normal or not.
Looked through a property last Saturday (in NSW), made and offer and after a bit of back and forth by Monday afternoon the vendor and I had come to an agreement on price.
Its now friday and my solicitor still hasn't recieved a contract from the vendors solicitor, rang the agent again today and he now says the vendors solicitor is waiting on a 149 certificate for the property.
It seems like they trying to drag out exchange to try and get a better offer, or use my offer to push up someone else maybe.
I have pushed the agent as far as I feel I can, if this drags out into the middle of next week I'm not sure how I should proceed, seems like all I can do is wait and hope the agent isnt going to stitch me up.
Dont want to loose the house as it will eventually be our PPOR but at the same time I have offered the limit of what I can afford so if I have to walk away I will.
