...do you need to complete or exchange contracts?
I thought it was complete but my solicitor thinks exchanging contracts will be fine.

Some people get confused beteen ‘exchange of contracts’ and ‘completion’. It’s the completion stage which needs to be reached before the March 24 deadline to avoid paying stamp duty.
