Only exchanged at 3.30pm for completion the very next day...never been so stressed in my life (mad i know but all down to dodgey buyers mortgage co who were known for not getting monies sorted so buyers sol would not exchnage until she had actually got all the money herself!).....it went fine but all very rushed..plus had very understanding removals co.
    Fingers crossed for you. When are you completing?

    Congratulations on exchanging at last, phew, so many of us are relieved along with you. Much luck & happiness in your new home.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
