    Haven't you exchanged/completed on the same day? Thought that's what everyone was doing these days. I know I did, when I sold.
    I was under the impression that it takes time do so in terms of paperwork, especially if mortgages are involved.
    I also have to move my things out.

    It was advised by my solicitor. Essentially, if there is a lock down between exchange and completion and the completion cannot happen, the buyer has breach of contract and could be liable for financial penalties.
    People have been managing to do it. But hope you're not having to wait too long.

    Do the prawns in the curtain poles and kippers under the floor boards really work? I'd have thought they would just dry up. Does anyone actually know of an instance where it worked?
    There was a presenter on Capital Radio years ago, who admitted to having done it. His buyer phoned in to tell him that it took weeks to work out where the smell was coming from!
