Flat illegally sublet; up for sale - happy ending!

Back in April I posted about how my tenant had illegally sublet my flat (and no longer lived there), which I only discovered when showing it to potential buyers.
Served section 21 on original tenant, with letting agent dangling carrot of possibility of deposit return if the illegal occupants went quickly. Everyone was gone by June 10; we changed the lock. Have completed on the sale and handed over the keys today. Now I'm looking on MSE for savings advice as I'm not accustomed to having enough to save! Just thought I'd post to say thanks for all those who replied; it was v v stressful, and to offer hope to anyone in a similar situation: things can and do get worked out eventually.
