    Well it's finally happened, at about 4.30pm today after yet another very tense day - we have exchanged! Completion day tomorrow. 

    After being on edge all day waiting, I don't know what to do with myself now!
    Brilliant news and best of luck for tomorrow.

    We received the buyers report from the solicitor yesterday. All ok except the stamp duty they have quoted is wrong, and the postcode on the mortgage deed is incorrect as well. So have gone back to them, but hopefully they will turn those around quickly. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
    Dropping off the paperwork to the solicitors today. They have corrected the stamp duty, and we can correct the post code ourselves. So we must be close....but then I had a thought that I don't know if our seller has had their buyer report yet!! I'm still hoping we are exchaging within the next couple of weeks. 😬

    Holy cow, it's all happening. Solicitor has emailed to say we are ready to talk completion dates. I am proposing mid October, just trying to line everyone else up. Holy cow!

    Ooh how exciting! I hope the last stages go smoothly for you!

    I'm waiting anxiously for the phone calls to say completion has happened and we can collect the keys 😬

    Good luck! I played this waiting game all day yesterday, after a few weeks of trying to get to that point. Finally heard at 4.30pm!

    I hope you hear soon.

    Thanks!

    And hopefully you have received that call by now! Are you waiting outside the house, or still in your old house?

    Ticking along nicely towards exchange hopefully this week. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing we have all decided on a completion date....a week later than I would have preferred, but oh well. Now just waiting for our buyer to send his deposit through to his solicitor, and we should then be able to exchange. Fingers crossed....🤞
