Hi, I think I might have posted on am earlier thread.
We are 6 weeks in from completing our chain (of 3 - we are the ones in the middle). We still probably have around 3 weeks to wait for searches and 2 until we have the survey done on our new house.
I am finding this limbo so difficult. We are moving areas and we have just started seeing friends/going back to school here, but I know that soon we will be 100 miles away and won't see them any more. My eldest is quite upset and I'm just finding it really hard.
I'm also anxious about our sale and if there is anything they will want us to do. Everything works ok but we have never had any checks done and didn't sort out any of the minor issues from when we bought the house 10 years ago. I am definitely getting the boiler serviced every year in the new one! And of course I'm worried about the same with our new house, and if there is anything, and the seller won't pay, we could be stuck with bills for two houses. I am one of life's worriers. Money is so tight as we are buying without a mortgage, but also the ability to get one, so we don't have much wiggle room if they decide to reduce their offer.
I have everything sorted re moving company and have done everything on time, it's just this unbearable waiting! We need to be moved by November really for school places and my final worry is that the space that the school had last month when we checked will have gone to someone else and then I have to decide where to apply for my 4 year old next year.
I'd live to say I'm never doing this again, but it's not our dream house, just the sensible and best choice with the funds we had at the time, so we'll probably move in a few years!
