What is the benefit in a delay between exchange and completion? Is it the extra certainty that exchanging gives you so you can be definite in organising removals, etc or something beyond that? I assume if there's a substantial chain it is more difficult to find an agreeable date.
All going well I should have a minimal chain (first time buyer buying my flat, me buying a house that is chain free) so I assume a week or so between exchange and completion would be OK. Anything I'm missing here?
