Buyer getting survey done even though I haven't found a house

You have accepted an offer and therefore have a moral obligation to go ahead with the transaction. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from from processing the sale. You can always defer completion if accomodation is an issue. What you have chosen to do instead is keep the buyer on tender hooks whilst you look around. Doubtess you still advertising the house.
If you were buying and needed the money from your old house to complete the purchase, your position would be understandable. But its not. You are just playing games with a hapless buyer.
Cobblers.
The OP has clearly been already looking at houses to buy and has every intention to buy. The buyer knew the situation before offering.
it is quite normal to wait for an offer on your house before you put in an offer on another, otherwise you will find it is you as a buyer who is not being taken seriously.0 -

We are not talking about making an offer. The issue is about accepting an offer in good faith.0
