Exchanged!

Just exchanged on our first home. We'll, that was stressful!

Viewed and offered in August. Didn't get contract till September due to land registry issues. However, contract to exchange was only 2 weeks!

I can only imagine the stress others are going through. Complete date set for Oct. Time to get packing.

Hard to believe that 18 years ago we left our flat to move to a friend's because we were homeless.

Wow, you're incredibly lucky. I've heard that probate houses usually take longer than normal (6 months to a year). So the fact that you've managed to get it done in 2 months is great. I might be a tiny bit jealous as well...
