As i say,i imagine this seems to everyone to be a daft question,so i apologise.But..........
I have exchanged contracts with my buyer,completion date being 10 days away.

Anyway OP, legally binding now, start packing up!Are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation? :cool:0
