Has exchange happened yet then OP? 

Hopefully, the op is too busy dealing with the sale to reply.

Maybe. I don't recall doing anything as such on the days we exchanged or completed though, other than stare at the phone waiting for a call from the solicitors / EA! 

Yes we've completed, thanks! At just after 2pm.

Excellent! Congratulations!

Well done, I’m sure we’re all pleased for you.  

Hopefully the move will go smoothly and you have a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Good news is you can now go at your own pace, within reason. When we moved from rented into our purchase we had virtually a full calendar month overlap. Completed on the Friday. Did bits and pieces and started moving a few bits across over the weekend then actually moved properly on the Monday. Then had ample time to get our rented house cleaned and small repairs done ready to hand back. Made the process very stress free (although I did get a bit stressed on the Sunday evening the day before we moved but that turned out to be me stressing over nothing!)

You'll know the true reason why. 

What do you mean by that?

Sorry. Meant to say you may never know why. 

But the oil rad will have taken longer to heat up at the start whilst the fan will have pumped out heat as soon as turnedon, so over time a KW is a KW. Over, say, an hour the air in the room willheat up by the same amount.

Fan gives instant hot air blown out

Oil give slow steady heat output.

Does this affect the solicitor's actions 🤓☺️

Possibly went home early to get warm

We had the same. Made moving a breeze.

So, maybe the solicitor really did have some urgent shopping to do yesterday?
