Great news. Will be brilliant getting in before Christmas.

We had that. Very frustrating. Solicitors are tossers with conveyancies from my experiences.
Luckily our seller was the manager of the local Ryder and Dutton Estate Agents and I could pop in regularly to get updates and push her.
One in our chain was a family selling a house to split the money. The family member living in it didn't want to leave so said he would hold everyone up if he didn't get a payout from everyone in the chain. He held out for nearly a month and I assume the family came to some arrangement with him to save their sale as I (and the others) told him to do one.
