    Picked up second hand furniture to kit out my rental, taking it with me when I move. As I want to change anything I will look at second hand first before buying new.

    Didn't even have that straight away and bunked down on a few duvets, folded up as futon style in the day.

    You don't need a fully furnished, brand new everything for your home on completion, just a few bits to sit / sleep on.

    What you think you want now, may not be what you want when you have moved in and lived in it for a few days / months.

    Definitely do not order anything yet, do not take out any credit either.

    Get a couple of folding garden chairs to start off with and order when you have completed.
