Funding house move.

Thanks everyone for your replies it's been very helpful and highlighted some issues I hadn't considered but can now be prepared for.

For those that questioned the logistical issues, our issues are beyond the remit of a even the most efficient removal company.
Unfortunately lifes not that simple for some.

absolutely, probably takes more than a removal company  - and I suspect that key to all this is also getting absolutely the right property to move in to - something that isn't always possible when chains are involved

I don't understand what your 'logistical reasons' could be for not being able to buy and sell simultaneously.

Removal companies do this for people every day, packing up quickly (typically starting packing the day before and finishing on the morning you are leaving),  Then they unpack later that day or the following day if you are moving some distance.

All you need to do is keep out of their way and let them get on with it.  It costs a few thousand, but is a bargain compared to paying for bridging finance for an unknown period.

Could you not do this?

Without going into any detail, I would be in the same position as OP if I moved. It isn't always as simple as you suggest. 

Maybe so.  I am not convinced.   The OP and possibly yourself seem to have concluded it would be impossible to move conventionally without even speaking to the experts.  It may just be fear of the unknown which could be overcome with the correct expertise and assistance.

There's a difference between impossible and totally impractical. Certainly not fear of the unknown, as I've done the selling/buying/moving on the same day several times before - without any problems and enjoyed the actual days.
