    Your frustration about that is all over this board, but it's nothing new. It happens to most people at some time, and it's all part of life's rich tapestry. :)

    The advantage of today's slow market is that renting between sale and purchase gives people who can make the extra effort a better choice of property and the chance, if they have plenty of equity, to do a really good deal.

    Five years ago, with prices rising steeply, stepping off the housing ladder like that wasn't such a good option.
