We were very lucky to sell our home in 1 day and we found our dream home three days later! BUT now we are stuck as the current owners still have to find their new home (a bungalow). It's been three weeks so far and still nothing. Our EA (who we chase every week) assures us they are actively looking and that they had widened the areas they are looking at.
How long do you think is fair to give them to find somewhere? The reason I'm so impatient is because we are moving for school catchment areas. I have to apply for my sons secondary school in October (although we have told EA and solicitors that we need to be in by August).
Obviously we still don't know if the bungalow they eventually find will have a chain too!
Just wondered about other peoples experiences? Do you think we have any chance of getting into the new house in time for the school applications? How long did it take you if you were in a chain and how many people in the chain were involved?
Thanks!
