    Actually, that's not a bad idea. Rather than money why not tell the developer what property you would like them to buy you instead? But sheesh, don't be afraid to make a profit - why comparable? (ie. no net improvement for you) - you may as well not move then. Find a nice 3 bed you'd like. All the best.
  • 3 beds where I live are about £200k+!!

    The managing agent has said the property (2bed) is work £150k (I paid £147k 3 & 1/2 years ago) and to have a think and let them know what we'd like. Apparently the property developers will cover all costs of selling/buying/moving.
