Moving house without going into rented between

Does anyone here have any advice about how to sell and move without ending up homeless half way through the process?

We are looking for a very specific sort of house and have actually found what we are looking for after 18 months of finding nothing.

Obviously we can’t offer until we have sold, and I’m concerned that the house we want will be gone by then.

I’m a wheelchair user and I have two dogs so renting isn’t an option, plus I’m on a low income so probably wouldn’t be able to afford rent at modern prices even if I found something accessible to rent.

If we didn’t get the house we are interested in it might be another 18 months or more before anything similar comes onto the market again.

How do people get round this catch 22 in the system?
