A better approach might be to speak to your buyer, and ask if for a small rental consideration they would allow you to remain in your current property until the weekend following the completion, although the same concerns apply - you need to check on what would happen in these cases if there was a fire, flood etc,

Bad idea as banks will only lend on a residential mortgage on a property with vacant possession. As soon as money changes hands the old owners become tenants of the new owners with all the rights that entails .... like staying six months. :eek: No decent solicitor will advise you to do this.

Bet that takes a lot of bubble wrap.

Business moves are different to house moves, items are moved methodically (So they can be laid out at the other end properly) so you tend to move all the desks in one go, then all the cabinets etc etc.

Not much gets bubble wrapped, it tends to be the IT that gets wrapped, but we have big bubble wrap bags which make it quicker.

The loose items eg stationary and contents of teachers desks get packed into stackable plastic crates.

Most items are moved on special skates which reduces the chances of damage.

Hubby knows if he wants to move house again, someone else is going to do all the packing.

Having done it with a Van the first time and with removals the second time we have sworn that if there is a next time we are giving the keys to a removal firm and going on holiday for a week whilst they move us!

however I intend to have more than three days notice next time which is all we got the second time around!
