Selling house, will be in a chain

babyblade41

Whenever I have been ready to move , for about 3-4 months prior I keep an eye on all suitable properties which could be a potential possibility . I keep them in my favourites on right move.

Once I have a few I market my property at the appropriate price to sell .

Once I have an offer and it doesn't take too long if priced correctly  with  a proper EA who knows the area well , I whittle down my favourite list of what is available then arrange simultaneous viewings as much as possible and choose the best possible fit in both property and the sellers plans as much as possible .

I know as soon as I walk in to a property  if its the one, I can just feel it .

I literally can't see the point of trying to sell when there is absolutely nothing you can find to buy.. I like to do all the due diligence as much as I can  especially downloading the title registry plan before viewing .

It saves a lot of stress and holding up buyers . 

It's not without  its cons but sure makes the stress a lot easier

The majority of people end up in a chain unless you have a cash buyer who is prepared to wait for you to find a suitable property to move in to. Given that you have missed out on 4 properties it would be worthwhile contacting the local estate agents and getting them to let you know of properties in the pipeline for selling.

Alternatively, you could consider moving into rented accommodation (air bnb?) to ensure that your sale completes and then you become a cash buyer. 

I was very lucky in that my older effectively-FTB had a fairly long rental contract, so she was in absolutely no hurry. She was in the fortunate position that she could afford both too. She wanted to get trades in to do stuff before she moved in.

Our vendor was moving in with her partner.

It was probably about as good a situation as we could have had.

I'd agree with you but it is literally the case in this area that you have to be ready. The houses sell within days. We had four we liked before putting it on the market. All have gone. There is no other way in this area, it's either sell this way or not at all
