On a different but related note, how the hell do you deal with being in a chain?!
Our property isn’t on the market yet. We are quite picky about where we want to move to so haven’t listed as we don’t want to sell and then not be able to find what we are really after. That means though that any offer we make on a property we do find will have to be subject to sale of our flat which I’m thinking will make us less attractive as buyers.
Put your place up for sale. Be really picky about who you sell it to. If the perfect buyer turns up but you haven't found a place you can let them know and string it out if they want to play. Nobody forces you to exchange - although an agent probably will try.
