We had the home demonstration on Thursday, fully expecting to complete in the New Year
Had an email from the solicitors Thursday evening saying we should be able to complete the next day
Thursday night, paid the deposit & fees
Friday 3pm, had phone call confirming everything had gone through
Friday 4pm, picked up the keys
Saturday - started packing, rented transit van
Tuesday 5pm - finished unpacking everything. House is done.
Such a lovely feeling to be in a brand new, massive (for just the two of us!) property in a relatively affluent area, no scrotes around, all in time for Christmas.
For those still waiting for exchange, may your wait be short and painless!
