Thanks @InescapableDeath, I know it’d be easier if we’d sold. We listed three weeks ago and had an offer straight away... it was a bit unexpected as it’s a flat, and they aren’t popular here right now. But the buyer needed to move quickly, as a first time buyer starting a new job, and we couldn’t find anywhere to go. The property market here is fast but sparse. We’ve had one other offer, this week, but they have rescinded it as we haven’t found somewhere to go.
I ran through this with the estate agent when we booked the viewing and she said it’d be fine for this house, because they haven’t found anywhere to go yet either... but on the phone she said we’d need to have sold first, and she hasn’t called back.
Our estate agent has come to do new photos, but isn’t confident that we’ll sell easily to someone willing to wait while we find somewhere else. He said FTBs here are looking for speed.
I feel really trapped here now; to be honest, but it’s probably lots of different things at play.
@HumourReplacementTherapy Best of luck with finding someone to take over the tenancy... that’s a rubbish situation to be in, I hope it all goes smoothly.
@FakeFruitShoot no advice, but that sounds really frustrating. I think I’d have to contact them.
