How long do we give our vendors?

We are in a holiday let and yes, surprise, surprise, need yet another week of it (but it is booked for a few days from tomorrow so got to move out for the duration and then back in)

As emergency fixes go this one has its compensations (would have been a lovely holiday in other circumstances!) but in your situation sounds too risky (and you would have the additional cost of storage, which we don't, we only have the bare minimum with us and haven't moved out of our own house yet)

How stressful is it?

I could be in this position in a few weeks and scary:eek:

Hi all thanks for all your replies, actually the more I think about it, and read what you wrote for me, I don't fancy a holiday let... Esp as the ones near us seem to be about half of our new mortgage monthly cost just for a week and as pointed out earlier that doesn't include storage costs etc.

We do want to protect our sale, and will do whatever we can to keep it, but really for us the issue is that we don't feel that way about this purchase. We were happy to go into rented when it meant we were likely to be there for a while, and take our time finding another house, but now we are buying somewhere we want to get things moving as it would just be too expensive to have just for a short while... Then to pay mortgage and rent at once.

Gwhiz- I Agree with you, which is why I don't understand really why they don't feel like that- we are good buyers, and they have already lost one sale, so you'd think they'd be keen to do what it takes?
