    Even if you can't complete before 1 April, what will your buyers do? If they pull out the chances of them finding another property and completing on it before 1 April are practically zero.

    We have spoken to our conveyancer today, and he suggested to propose a completion date as ‘on a date mutually agreed, but no later than 31 March’. That means, that if we find a property available at an earlier date, then we are happy to move out before 31 March. But we need contracts exchanged first, to get that property.

    That commits you to moving out by 31 Match.

    What will you do if you don’t find a rental with entry by that date?
