    So i have transferred to final payment and deposit to my solicitor today with hopes of completion on Friday :)

    Just to recap, i'm a FTB, buying a vacant house which has been going through Probate.
    It will be 13 weeks on Saturday since my offer was accepted.
    I haven't told my partner this good news, he still thinks the house is going through probate. I will surprise him with the keys....

    an end is finally in sight.
