Renting our house off of our buyer whilst we renovate our property?

[Namechanged1800]

Hi all. Interested in a house that needs a full refurb. It isn’t really liveable until some work has been carried out. We have young children and pets so short term let’s aren’t really an option.

Anyone know if it’s possible to sell our house but to remain in it for 2 months or so? We could offer our buyer £10,000 off of the house price or something (worth approx 30% more than the rental value).

Obviously this wouldn’t suit all buyers. But say they are a non chain buyer - would this be a major big ask?

To be fair, if OP doesn’t have to move any stuff until the new house is ready, then she saves on van hire/removals to and from a storage unit and also on the cost of that storage unit.

This ^^

The whole thought process here is unbelievably entitled.

No wonder the house buying process is such a nightmare if some people really think like this.

I genuinely can’t get my head around anyone thinking they can sell their house to release the funds to buy another house, but still live in the old house because it’s more convenient to them!
