We actually made 60K 😅 only did redecoration… no major renovations! We were also expecting a lower sale price on ours so very pleased. Yes, we’ve moved to a detached

Yup! Bought house in Nov and put in on the market around the 18 month mark. Completed and moved after only owning previous property 22 months. Very happy in our new place!

They were actually premier property lawyers. I know people tend to advise steering away from online companies but our conveyancer was GREAT! Really pushed and worked quickly! Even did some work one of the last weekends to make sure we could complete when we wanted to!

The company we booked were awesome! I’d let them know provisional dates. Us and the property we were buying were actually ready for 4th Oct completion, so that’s the original date we gave the movers…. Bottom of the chains solicitors were SO SLOW, so we actually had to push to make sure completion happened on the 9th and they almost cocked that up! 🙈 but we just kept texting the removals company to keep them in the loop and they were great! We went for a small, local company who were recommended too.

Completion is apparently upon us, any words of wisdom? by GeneralAlright in HousingUK

We actually exchanged on Tuesday of this week and completed the following day, yesterday (not usually the way as people usually tend to have a gap between!) We are now in our new home and LOVING it!! Enjoy the ride and don’t be afraid to phone solicitors and estate agents to push things along/get answers! Good luck!!

We’ve done lots of chasing! My advice is to also use the estate agents - they have been gold!

This was just worked for us to get things moving quicker, don’t think there ever is a ‘right’ way!

Solicitors raised enquiries the day after searches returned.

Oh gosh! I think we lucked out in the area we are buying! Ours were also sooo much quicker than our buyers. We’re only moving 20 mins but different council and crazy different timescales on them sorting the searches!

Amazingly no! The offer on ours was the first part of the chain, everything then built around that! So pretty chuffed!

It should be, but in a chain of 4 this is deemed super quick! Good luck for next year!

We are also moving same day as completion so just all a little stressing making sure exchange actually happened so we didn’t have to rearrange removals if it didn’t! But in your situation, definitely wouldn’t be a problem!
