Cool - thanks guys. That's what I was thinking to be honest.
Just leave a tub of Polyfilla in the middle of the room with a post-it note stuck to it reading "I've already used 6 tubs  " |

Congrats, Where you looking to move to? We're still waiting on 2/6 searches to come back and then hopefully we can move. |

I'm in the same boat sold but can't find anywhere as the few properties we were interested in sold before we had an offer on ours and could do with the government extending the stamp duty holiday |

Haven't decided. Smaller town or village is what we're looking for, ideally.
I've been looking at places in south Devon, but I'm not sure the wife is keen on moving that far.

We were lucky that the house we really wanted had 2 or 3 people really interested but already had the sale of our flat sorted so managed to snap it up. Goes without saying but having a sale really is advantageous in the current climate! (and probably all climates to be honest) |

Good point and glad that you have found what you are looking for. My worry is how long my buyers will wait as I'm assuming they need the free stamp duty saving as it's around £5500 |

We're prepared to break the chain if needed. It'd be nice to benefit from the stamp duty holiday ourselves and save nearly £10k, but if we have to pay it then so be it.

Where you looking down there? That's where I'm moving eventually. Got the green light but Mrs won't go until our home is paid up here first. Looking like 3/4 years. I look regularly at properties so will be well prepared. Everyone I've met down there who has moved to the area has said it's the best thing they've done/go for it etc. |

Newton Abbot or Teignmouth area would be ideal for me. But really anywhere within 20 mins or so of the M5 as I'd still need to be back in Wiltshire a couple of days a week for my business.

Nice. Both easily near the main roads out to the M5. Teignmouth is somewhere we will be considering too( the back beach sunset there is special) We're looking between Exminster and Brixham. |

We accepted an offer on ours last week and have had an offer accepted on a new place today  Although Wiltshire council are apparently taking NINE WEEKS for local searches. Fingers crossed we complete before April. |

Fingers crossed we complete before April. Ive sold five weeks ago but can't find anything suitable so would love a stamp duty extension! |

They'll have to do something re: stamp duty holiday. Think of all those collapsed chains if they can't complete by 31st March and lenders get jittery about people suddenly having to find a few £k extra for SDLT.
I think a grace period for anyone SSTC is most likely.

I hope that you're right as I'm quite frustrated as I had seen 2 or 3 houses that I had liked but they all sold just before I had my offer |
