Random Irritations

Yes, I know how it is supposed to work, the bloke from the agency told me this, which I already knew, but who actually does it? Think about it. You sell your house, and then have to actually find one that you like. How stupid is this? It's like chucking out all your clothes and then wandering about the shops, naked, looking for some stuff you like and want to buy. I've never bought a house this way. I've always looked first, put a bid in, then put mine on the market. What if you sold your house and then you can't find another one? Do you leave it until the very last second and pull out of the deal, which would make your buyers a tad annoyed? Nope, I wouldn't want some bloke, or woman for that matter, knocking on my door in that situation thank you very much.

The agent could at least tell us the response from the seller. My guess is they just haven't contacted them at all, which is wrong.

Re Bit in bold above
- that’s how it’s done

I’ve bought and sold 4 houses in the past 5 years, 3 mine and one my late mother’s so I have seen it from both sides.

You are very low down the pecking order and at the moment, not proceedable. Nobody is going to take you seriously as a buyer until your place is under offer.

It’s a game and unfortunately you are not in charge of the rules.

All you can do is get yourselves into the best possible position and then see what is on the market in your chosen location, and if you can’t find anywhere, then yes, you have a difficult decision to make.

I was looking to buy a house in Aylesbury to rent out, as a cash buyer after divorce. Got gazumped once and had just put an offer in on another, when a much better property came up, so I switched.

Good luck, you’ll need it
 
Blisters and callouses. Even worse is blisters on top of callouses...hands are trashed after 4 rowing sessions this weekend - good job I don't play much golf these days!
