For anybody nearing exchange at present. There is a lot of anxiety in our chain about covid and the second wave interrupting house moves.
One solicitor has recommended exchange and complete on the same day (for a chain of four houses). The other has recommended a covid clause so exchange as usual, then if any parties fall ill, competition is delayed. (The other solicitor has said this will take too long to arrange across the chain).
I am not too worried about the virus as local lockdowns haven't included a ban on moving (low levels currently in our area). My concern is more about anyone in the chain losing their job, so I am keen to get going ASAP, but the idea of exchange and complete on the same day fills me with dread.
What are other movers doing at the moment?
Many thanks for anyone's thoughts.
