Well i didnt sleep very well last night at all

The letter went email and post. I thought about it after and even though i havent slept very well whats done is done. We have to give two months notice, and two months is nearly £2k.

If the sale falls through, it does. We will just have to rent elsewhere for the short term.

Not all sales fall through though surely?

And ontop of the £2k rent, assuming the house does complete i will also be paying nearly £2k in mortgage at the same time.

So i simply cant afford the luxury.

Bear in mind that minimum short term rent is usually 6 months. Depending on where you are a holiday let could be perfect. But let's hope all will be well and you won't need to rent.

I am calm now.

Just a tad excited too. Will be off to measure up soon.

c'est la vie! (is that how you spell it!?)

Don't fret too much, even if the worst happens which is probably unlikely.

My parents got stuffed on a house purchase and ended up living in a Travelodge for 2 months when the house they were buying fell through at the last possible second, but they had sold theirs.

It wasn't ideal, but they were fine and not tied to a 6 month tenancy. The money from the house sale generated enough interest to cover the hotel costs and they went into the next buy without a chain.
