What do you do when your house sale and purchase dont meet up?

[Poppysmom22]

Just that really - we have a sale to conclude around mid march but new house wont be ready until mid may - what do you do? ive explored rentals but they will all run credit checks which could impact credit scores for mortgage, at the moment im veering between a camper van or a caravan? airbnb? honestly i have no idea what to do? we dont have any family or friends with space for us.
Has anyone been in this situation and what did you do?

@Poppysmom22 thank you for coming back to update. I am glad you had the options of AirBnBs which is how a lot of people now fill a gap if there is one. Ours was a short few weeks over a decade ago so we moved into a hotel. Not ideal but it was for our long term house so it was worth it. Far better an AirBnB as at least you have kitchen and laundry facilities. We had friends who fed us and let us use their washing machine and tumble dryers.

I hope you are happy in your new home.

Congratulations on making it all work. Enjoy your new home.

Thanks to you both this is our forever home so totally worth it
