Hello everyone!
My little boy is 9 months old. We have a very small two bed house and I decided I didn’t want to move when I was pregnant and it would all be okay.
when he was a few weeks old realisation kicked in that this house is way to small and I probably should of put our house on the market sooner! We put our house up and got a buyer pretty much straight away with multiple offers!
our buyer bought 1st may. But end of June she kept ringing the estate agents pushing us to break the chain as we hadn’t found anywhere… we were looking at multiple properties a week! We finally found one in July and our offer got accepted.
its now November nearly and our buyer is seriously impatient threatening to pull out… she’s paid for searches and is eager to move in! But the people were buying off haven’t found anywhere! They gave their number when we looked around so we text them asking how their search was going! They said not great and they needed some help with the internet (as they’re old) 77 & 78.
my partner offered to go over and help and it’s come to light they haven’t really looked at any houses!! They want to live by the sea but at the moment they’re just driving to areas… staying in hotels and seeing if they get a “feel” for the place! I’m seriously annoyed as surely you’d of done this before you put your house on the market!!?
we can break the chain and move into my partners dads but it’s so far away from my little boys nursery & my work! So it would add some strain but then we have no pressure selling our house!
what’s everyone’s thoughts has anyone else ever been stuck in a chain and how long did it take?
thanks!!!
