We gave up for a bit of that time frame. Put the house on the market just as the pandemic started, offered on one place and lost that, found another then had our buyer pull out at the last minute. Took some time out then tried again and it's been a real rollercoaster; we've lost two buyers but still managed to keep the vendor of the house we wanted on board, only for him to pull out of his purchase on the day before exchange. Somehow we held on to our third buyer and the house directly opposite the one we were trying to buy came on the market and we offered on that at the beginning of October, and completed yesterday.

a lot of that sounds uncomfortably familiar, 2 buyers changing their minds along with sellers hiding £10k section 20 works notices until the day before exchange hoping to force our hand, losing that flat and then viewing one next block over and offer accepted all on the same day.
We could potentially exchange today/tomorrow or the house of cards could come tumbling down...

House buying in the UK is such a mess. Sorry you went though all that. Glad you're in now.

congratulations, and I thought just over a year was bad enough, the thought of doing another 2 gives me the fear!?
