Sales agreed (over asking price after 22 peoples starting to throw in their offer), mortgage sorted, just chasing up the paperwork hopefully before end of June otherwise we're fucked with the stamp duty!
@spindrift and the shed gonna go and the garden converted into allotment, apparently the back of the garden used to be a steam tractor factory.

You need a steam engine.

We finally exchanged on Friday and our solicitor (like most I would guess) is super super busy.
Sounds like you're not in a chain which will make things easier. But we had a couple of hold ups over exchange deposits and buildings insurance as the place we're buying has been underpinned in the past.
You thinking of exchanging and completing on same day?
And most removal companies we tried are pretty much booked up for the rest of the month especially towards the end. -
Congrats Ed! Really hope you get sorted before the end of the SDLT holiday. However, there'd have to be someone properly watching over you for it to go from sale agreed to completed within a month. Not that it's impossible, and I'm not sure if you know something more about the whole situation that says it will be done. But especially with leasehold places, the amount of queries that need to be raised/answered by your solicitor could very likely mean it takes a few months.
Like I said, I really hope it doesn't, I just also hope you have the contingency to pay the SDLT should it run over as there's no real way you can force it to happen faster.

Nice.
Have you moved in or still in the process of buying?
