Waiting for the mortgage offer. Nationwide are being glacially slow. Valuation happened last week. Stuff progressing well between solicitors though. Fortunately both are switched on.

If the lawyers are not complete numptys then you are half way there imo.
One thing that personally I'd be checking very carefully about your new place (which I like) is the service charge and the management of the block. There might be service charge fun and games going on. My mate lives in a similar sort of block in Bow (where I used to own a flat- I sold it as the service charge was 3k and climbing and its now over 4k) . He got fed up of it all and managed to wangle his way onto the management committee to sort it all out. I'd personally be going through the accounts with a very fine toothcomb to make sure there isn't any madness going on which will stress you out later.
I do have a little bit of experience of going through these accounts from when I was getting rodded during my leasehold ownership experience, so if you want a second opinion on the accounts when they send them to you as part of the information pack then feel free to dm me and I'll take a look. I know you said you used to live in the block so you might already know its all cool.
