    @fullofcold how did you get on today? I went on a bike ride (permitted exercise) and seen removal men moving people into houses. Tonnes of people out tending to their gardens and doing diy workmen out etc. If it stays as it was today you should be able to move
    Due to go today, as of 5pm last night we were still all systems go. I'm a couple of boxes short now (typical) but my son recently moved out so is going to pop round and leave them outside the front door. Got removals coming at 12, which was the best I could do. The guy I'm buying from moved out yesterday so I know the move in will be easier. Not slept very well so am hoping I'm too busy to notice the stress today... Lol

    We are due to complete Friday, and have not yet exchanged. I am dreading official ruling coming out saying that only house moves that have already exchanged may proceed; I feel this is inevitable! Hence I want to exchange ASAP to afford us protection, but the rest of the chain is not so willing - bottom want to complete/exchange the same day. If the move doesn't happen in the next week we will be going back to market when all this is over I think.

    Owner of a Removal company here , no moves are being done after Friday and only doing those because customers had exchanged and completed , and we have stopped doing face to face surveys as soon as the lock down was issued . We wont be the only ones , every other company I spoke to  are doing the same .

    They may be companies who will still carry out the moves ( due to zero government clarification )

    I think the whole of Mortgages market will slow down imminently and banks will stop lending and doing valuations for the foreseeable future. They will probably focus on existing applications at later stages rather than new business....

    Well we're still waiting on monies. It is extremely possible we will have to get a key indemnity to move into our purchase tonight
