Nothing stressful about it
Plan, prepare and above all do not listen to anything that any of the so called professionals say:

1. Estate agents - only interested in you until they get their commission. Use this fact to get them to make it all happen

2. Solicitors - wankers, the lot. £000's of pounds for moving a piece of paper from one tray to another. Use an online company that employs minimum wage clerks

3. Removal company - putting stuff in a box, driving from A-B and dropping box in a room is not difficult, so don't quote me '000s for it

4. Banks - I can transfer £25 to my mate in Australia in 2 hours. Why must I pay you to move money from one branch to another?

All of the above rely on dealing with people who are scared of the whole event and who can't see that while the 'extras' are only 0.05% of the whole transaction, that is still a shit load of money out of your pocket. Like weddings.

But for God's sake, keep buying houses or the whole country will go bust.

2. Solicitors - wankers: charged me £20 to photocopy something. I refused to pay it and they never chased me up on it.

IIRC BACS is only available upto £100k after which you have to use CHAPS which costs £35 or write a cheque (which takes a while to clear).

There's almost no good advice in this post whatsoever.
