House advice

in House buying, renting & selling
Hi all. So i had my house valued this week and I’m happy with the valuation £110,000 on a 2 bed semi in South Yorkshire. I currently have no mortgage and I’m 34 I’ve been looking at houses at up to 200k I’d need a mortgage again for this. Only problem is I’ve not yet seen my “forever home” and the market seems crazy. I’ve thought of putting mine straight on the market but then what if I don’t find the house I’m wanting I’ve thought about maybe renting but then I don’t really want to get stuck in rental accommodation for a few years. Should i just stick where i am and see what happens with the market. It’s awkward because all my money is tied up in my current home. Any advice would be appreciated 👍🏼

    Probably best to stick to just one thread on this

    Perhaps this one?
