Relocating abroad - Sell now or next year?

Hi all,
We are planning to move abroad next year. My husband is currently working on a project which he'd like to see through to completion before we move. The move is likely to be in June-July 2020 (this isnt a deadline, we can move anytime after that).
I know no one has a crystal ball, but we were wondering if we should sell now and move to rented accommodation or just stay put and go on the market say Jan-Feb next year ? We are in Beckenham, Bromley.
Brexit is such a mess, I am hoping they sort something out so there is stability in the housing market!

What instability are you refering to? People are still buying and selling on a daily basis.
Base your decisions on your own circumstances. Not factors over which you've no control. As there'll always be something on the horizon.0 -
Which would you prefer.
To live in your home up the moment you leave and leave it empty in the hands of an estate agent (do you have any family/friends who could pick up post, turn heating on/off or check every 7 days for insurance?)
Or to have the sale done and dusted and move into rented?0 -

If we choose that route, we won’t move abroad until we sell the property.There is more to life than increasing its speed.0 -

Best to keep to one thread rather than multiple ones on the same topic.
Selling a higher value property is potentially going to take a lot longer. Takes time for chains to form beneath. Likewise people are moving less often. With the upheavel and cost involved. There's a lot that can be done to enhance/refurbish older properties these days instead. Besides which one gets exactly what one wants. Rather than somebody elses taste.0 -
