I'd like to put my property on the market soon but don't want to complete until 4 months time for a few reasons (mainly that I have a bond that is maturing in 4 months time that I will want to use). I'd be happy to exchange before that time but not complete - is that too long to expect a buyer to wait do you think?
I think it may take a little while to find a new property in any case as there is very low supply at the moment with properties snapped up immediately and the market is so buoyant local estate agents are refusing to even let you view properties until the one you're selling is under offer.
I'm not sure what a 'normal' time period is between making an offer and completion - I think when we bought our current property it took two months with some difficulties over the freehold but we were both chain free.
