moving house and benefits

I currently have my flat on the market and it's taking ages to sell. I want to move to a different part of the country and am considering renting out my place and just going.I'm currently employed full time and don't have a job to go to in my planned new location. What would be my position regarding claiming jobseekers allowance in my new location? Does anyone have any idea - would I be able to claim until I found a new job. I know the situation when leaving a job voluntarily is a 26 week waiting period - does this still apply when moving to a different county? What can I claim for. My flat has been on the market for nearly a year and I'm desperate to go at this point.

yes, the rule still applies. |I cannot think of anything you could claim.

I had a feeling that might be the case, but thanks for replying Emmzi.
