Well, YYFY, we moved on Wed having exchanged the day before.
We found out about 1 week from exchange that the "cash" buyer we had, only really became cash, once she'd sold another property. It's unclear when the agent found out about this, however, it was certainly before they told us (our solicitor had suspicions and teased it out of them).
My commute has dropped from ~1h15 to ~12minutes (delayed this morning by not one, but two lollipop ladies delivering the little darlings out of the safety of their Porsche Turbo's to the school safely).
The house seems great although I've noticed many little things I'd missed (I'm sure that's nothing new), and I've had more people knock on my front door in the past two days than the last 10 years in Sheffield. The current view from my office window is fantastic.
Having the champagne (from First Direct for moving house) delivered by the local funeral director made me chuckle.
Thanks for all of the help and advice people of UKB, I'll endeavour to add my thoughts on Solicitors (Good I think), Agents (C-bomb) etc. as and when. One recommendation I will make is Shark's mortgage advisor; for a small fee he improved upon the best rate we were offered by a decent margin, he (and his team) was/were also a pleasure to deal with throughout.
...and I will be fitting a log burner, or my gas bill is going to be eye watering.
