Oof. Was it waiting for the registry once the papers had been filed?
We're already war gaming 'what if we don't make March' scenarios. Our buyer's offer is conditional on completion by 31 March. We know she really wants it, but we'd expect her to drop her offer by the stamp duty amount if we don't make it in time.
The probate delay would be on the vendor, so we'd be looking for a reduction in turn. In theory, we could sell our place by the 31st, move out somewhere temporary then complete on new place whenever without losing any money, other than the cost of somewhere temporary to stay/storage.

My probate delay was 19 weeks, delaying the sale by 29 weeks
