We are a v short chain. We have cash buyers and our sellers are storing some stuff and renting in a new area. We have all been working for end Jan completion at request of our cash buyers. We all agreed at the start that we would all move asap. Sellers didn't want to move until later in the year but agreed to on the basis we up our offer.
Sellers have been asking for a date for ages and our buyers have consistently said they are not ready so can't give a date. They are now ready and want to exchange for a completion week of 15th Feb.
Our sellers are saying their preferred mover is not available until March 11th. THey have found others but those will cost more (apparently £2k more) so they want us or our buyers to move into temp accommodation until March.
They have not moved for 30 years and cannot accept that we have not been able to give them a date until now.
We are not inclined to move into rented (family of 5 plus dog no thanks) and think they should just get on with it.
If it makes a difference we are paying ££££ so £2k is not likely to be a huge deal to them.
Would you push them to get on with it??
