    Hope this this has gone through and that the stress period is over for you.

    I had to wait until 3pm to exchange once and I'd had the day off to go and get paint etc to decorate the moment I could, I was none to happy either!

    Hey the joys of buying and selling.

    Good Luck

    Great stuff. We had a similar situation on out last completion day. Kept phoning ea and solicitor. Then at around 3 I phoned solicitor again: 'Oh yes, you have now completed. Sorry, I meant to phone you earlier.'
    Happy days.
