    I'd list but have started looking / have an idea in mind of what you are looking for whilst waiting for them to sell.
    You can identify the type of property that best suits your needs that you can afford so be ready to pounce once you have offer/s.
    Also if combining 2 households into 1, might be a good time to sort and cull your belongings so that when you move, you're not paying to move (possibly store) things you will then get rid of when in your new home.
    Good luck.
    Thanks for the advice and info, oh my I didn't even think about that side of things regarding possessions lol...

    When I sold my first flat I put my stuff in storage (had to rent a room in shared house). After 6 months I got my stuff out and realised I had paid nearly the cost of the stuff just to store it. I culled a lot / parents took a lot for house lets.
    Have realised recently (we moved to our 4th home in 2 years) that we had carried more stuff around than we needed. When you have the chance, get rid of duplicates / items you don't need otherwise youvspend time ans money moving them from 1 property to another and the difference could be a smaller van.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
    Sleep well.
