>> We have said we will accomodate them moving there and that we have nothing to sell.
So I guess the purchase and sale aren't linked.0 -
yep, thats right. The purchase and sell are not linked at all. Our current house is mortgage-free, so we can buy the other without selling this one. We are guaging the market as I wanted to rent our current house rather than sell, but dear hubby doesn't think it will work out... anyway the yield on the rental is not that good, so we are thinking of selling and buying a 2 bed flat where the yield is much better. Though i am not sure all the selling and buying and the associated fees will all add up to the same thing as keeping and renting out our house... So far both EA's and general perception of the public seem to be that the market is doing better than last year and property prices are increasing again...0

You've had some excellent advice here.
I'm sure you weren't too trusting of EAs even before last night's TV prog.
The problem with negotiating is you really have to be prepared to lose it or they will know you're hooked and reel you in!
Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.0
