Christ, a grand for someone you don't know touching all your stuff? I guess I can understand if you have a lot to move.
Nearly finished our complete house renovation, just the skirting to go in the living room then decorating downstairs and we're done, (only taken 10months...) getting a table delivered on thursday, and bought two cheap chairs from john lewis outlet at the weekend, cutting it close for xmas dinner

Exchanged! Completing on 23rd Jan!
Didn't take too long from seeing the house at the end of October to exchanging today, now we have 5 weeks to pack up our current (rented) house, gonna be a busy few weeks especially with Christmas.

Nice one! New build?
That's good news. We issued our offer at end of November and just getting searches and contracts in place.
Hope ours goes as smooth as yours!
Expect issues so that you wont be too disappointed. Hopefully it will go without a hitch!
4 month old baby, and rather unremarkable stuff. I'm too old to try to do it all myself again.
Been too busy at the moment, currently going to work in dark and coming back in the dark, will try get some next week, once all the mess has been sorted.
Got blinds fitted, dining tables and chairs, and sofa and living room chairs delivered yesterday so it's all coming along.

It's a cottage from the early 1900s that has been rebuilt and renovated quite a lot so it's more like a house that was built in the 1980s that was renovated 8 years ago. It can't even really be classed as a cottage any more but it's in the name!
Hopefully it all goes well, nothing like a last minute purchase before Christmas

Had best part of 20 completions over the last few days, lots of happy people 
And also lots of unhappy ones who won't be getting in for Christmas, most of which were told that from the start but still find it entirely unreasonable not to be..

Thanks! Last minute sale actually! Took a low offer to ensure a rapid completion which hopefully will come to pass. They knew this 2 months ago, and as usual there have been plenty of stressful conversations between everyone involved.

Gotta love the Christmas deadline! A quick sale is a good sale... but people are unreasonable!

Had someone ring up on the 2nd with a new instruction and saying both they and the sellers had pre-booked removals for today I think it was. Already knew it wasn't a straightforward one but wouldn't have been possible anyway. Explicitly explained that. Come last Friday "so are we still on for completion on 21st?"........ Kill me.
Yep. Like hens teeth finding a good un
