OK, so it took you 6 months to engage a solicitor, exchange and complete.
...except it took longer, because I'm sure you prevaricated before that 6 month period for a couple of months.
If you were serious about selling, you could get the solicitor involved now, get the contracts drawn up, and even get them signed.
It's possible to exchange contracts several weeks before completing. That way you know you have a sale and the buyer knows they have a purchase.
It also gives time to discuss fixtures & fittings and if there are built-in things you want to take (e.g. light fittings, kitchen appliances), then you have the opportunity to advise the buyer and make good where necessary.
