We're not in this situation, but it's one I can see becoming an issue for us when we put our house on the market this year.
Current house is typical family four bed house, five minute walk from a good primary school, on an estate where similar houses are sought after, but don't come on the market very often. It's also less than a ten minute walk from a future Crossrail station. As long as we get the asking price right, I think we'll sell it fairly easily.
We've been keeping a close eye on Rightmove for a few years now and so few properties come on the market which I'd be interested in buying. So my question is, do we put ours up for sale with a clear guidance that we don't have anything in mind (stalling potential purchasers from doing surveys, etc)? Or have it all ready to go on the market in a flash if the right home comes up? In which case, we might lose potential new home through not having ours already up for sale/under offer?
Anybody have any experience with either of these scenarios? Selling current house and going into rental isn't something we'd consider immediately.
