Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your move?
It took the sting out of the anxiety involved ... especially after the calls you made on my behalf from Leicester to Stafford which resulted In getting a cancelled booking, allowing me to move before the big stamp duty deadline which the rest of my chain were trying to beat. As the truck pulled into the drive of my daughter's house, the phone rang to confirm the exchange of contracts on the house ... tight timing!
