Buying before selling???

Currently progressing towards buying a new property. This purchase does not depend on selling our current property as we have the funds for the deposit/ fees/ stamp duty.

Our current property is up for sale, been on the market 40 days and had 5 viewings and one coming back to look again.

Affordability wise i can afford both mortgages if needed.

Interested in any advice regarding this situation? Anything i need to be aware of

    Your affordability basis or the lenders.

    Not just the mortgage either, but all the running costs to consider.
  • Both



    We didnt intend on ending up with a property left to sell just things moved so quickly. Might auction it if needed
