I had all this with the dick head who was buying my house. He was jumping up and down and screaming he wanted to be in asap. noone else GAF.
I tried to help by offering to complete early on mine by 3 weeks but said I needed to have exchanged on my sale as well as my purchase.
Everyone else agreed to exchange and I would then move out early. All my stuff was in storage and we were due to do a Simultaneous exchange and completion on my sale and exchange on my purchase. I had an empty house.
And then the last house in the chain changed their mind. and I was stuck with an empty house for 3 weeks and a very unhappy wife and children.
In short my very firm advice is to say no. Don't even think about it. Just say no. it will potentially be a ton of aggro for you and stress even if it goes ok. If it doesn't go ok you'll possibly be skirting around the edges of a divorce (if married/partnered).
If they still want to buy the house they will have to wait.
