With the market how it is at the moment I'd take the money from your buyer, even if it means moving in with your dad for a while.

Good luck

I would definately take the above option. House sales/purchases are rarely straightforward and this way if your purchase fell through then you would be a cash buyer for your next property. In the current market that would put you in a very strong position for a price negotiation.

Yes good advice.

But your solicitor should be doing all this for you.. think you should give him/her a call,,, and frankly,, kick butt.. im speaking from experience as an ex estate agent..
