We put our house for sale on Sept 12th, had two offers last Thursday. First £10k below, second full asking price which we've accepted
The problem we have is that now we're in a position to buy there's not one single house in our budget available that's suitable
Every house we've viewed bar one, which is now sold, has been disappointing for various reasons. We're going into a new lockdown this week, we then have Christmas and stamp duty is only postponed until the end of March
We can't see many houses coming on the market now with the three above reasons as they won't be able to buy in time to beat the stamp duty
At this point we're coming to the realisation that we may need to take our house off the market and just wait until DD is eligible for free childcare (in 18 mths) and then we'll be in a financially better position
Just after opinions really. We want to let the buyer know within the next five days, we certainly don't want him to spend money on a survey etc and then tell him
We just feel quite depressed right now. The last thing we want to do is buy the wrong house and end up in a house which we like less than our current one. We feel it may well just be best to sit tight and face up to reality, now is not our time to move
