Short-term let

Hi folks,
We're in a bit of a sticky situation.
Our upward chain collapsed (bad) but we've found somewhere new (good).
Our sellers told us they were very early in their search, so I expected a bit of a wait on our hands with Xmas coming up. We've been looking at 6 month lets.
It turns out they've found somewhere already, an offer has been accepted. The estate agent believes we could complete within 2/3 months.
A 6-month let is obviously out the window and we don't feel like we can rely on family for this long.
Is there a service for short-term lets like this? What are our options?
Thanks.

If you can put most of your stuff into storage you may be able to find a local Airbnb place that suits your needs? Possibly dearer on a monthly basis but it is the quiet period so you may be able to get a deal if you message the host direct.YNWA

Some of the cut price hotels will do very good deals for longer stays.0

You may find 6month let cheaper than alternative. And if completion delayed ok for probably 10 months before eviction0
