    Huge congratulations @laura_lau !!

    @CLJ2986 - £150 is a bargain! 

    Cheapest quote I’ve found to move a 1 bedroom apartment with no white goods to a house about 23 miles is £335! Average was about £550!
    Lol i was gutted cause a local firm had quoted 85 quid, but they are now fully booked 🤣

    Huge congrats @laura_lau you must be so relieved!

    @CLJ2986 you're so close, willing you over the line.  And loving your cheap removals quote - quite the bargain.

    Hoping I'll not be too far behind you guys now, almost at 25 weeks and the LA have answered finally,  but not in enough detail apparently.  Hey ho...

    Hey guys, congrats to all who have completed recently! 
    I’ve been in and out of the forum as I’m mainly just trying to forget about it all currently. 
    It’s been nine weeks now and I haven’t heard anything from the solicitors in around 5 weeks. I just want a date already 😣 I’m only in a chain with one other person but I’m not sure whether they’ve had their searches back yet or not 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
    Feels like forever ago we had our offer accepted!
