We have very recently put our house on the market and have had a lot of viewings. We have received an offer but they want to move in by Christmas (for school applications). However, we are struggling to find somewhere we like. Although that is not exactly true, we have found two houses we like but have been either outbid or another buyer was chosen because they are chain free.
I am tempted to go with the buyer and move into rented accommodation- I think it will put us in a much better position to buy and I cannot see prices going up much more with looming redundancies and Brexit.
Rentals would be £2.5k + a month for a property the size we need and near enough to school, it would probably be a flat rather than a house too as house would be £3k +.
My husband is against this and says the rent will be a waste of money and he would hate being in a flat with the DC. Long term I agree but if we found somewhere in 6mths - 1 year it would be worth it.
Our house only went on the market last weekend so we could hold out a bit longer.
Has anyone done this? Any regrets?
We are in London if that makes any difference and so the rental market is pretty strong.
