Good luck Steve….having just done the same myself, I found the moving bit the easiest (I just paid someone to do it!). Selling however, was a complete nightmare, mainly caused by solicitors not doing their jobs properly. But now in our new pad, and happy as Larry.

Enjoy your new place.

Hi Al,

I had a run in with a nationally prominent (at the time) solicitor/conveyancer a couple of years ago over a house purchase.

In his bundle of 'Information for Purchasers' were 7 or 8 A4 pages of the penalties that they would impose upon me if I did (or did not do) something wrong, or if I did something late. All of it telling me quite clearly the financial penalty I would have to pay in those circumstances.

After reading this I penned a note explaining that they had forgotten to include, in the package, details of what I could expect from them if they made the same mistakes, and I would be grateful if they could forward it so that I could make a fully informed decision on whether to use their services or not.

Got a letter, by return, letting me know they were declining to take me on as a client!

Some things NEVER change, Steve, all infantry Part 2 Order Clerks know how difficult it is to get soldiers to tell the powers that be any changes to their personal details.

imagine that, nowadays, with email etc, that it is much easier for them!
