Property Sale & Conveyance Query

[WTFH]

Hi

I agreed on sale of my property (status Under Offer), but haven't found my next house yet.

OK, then take your house off the market, cancel the sale and annoy everyone else in the chain, or sell up and rent until you find what you're looking for.

Should I still go ahead and engage solicitors on sale of my property or need to wait until I found my next house to engage solicitors..??

The problem with telling lies is that you have to remember your lies.
In January you said you had engaged a solicitor.

If I can't find a house suitable for me I am not planning to sell my house.

Then take your house off the market and stop wasting everyone's time. It appears you want a perfect chain, but are not prepared to do anything to make the chain work at all.

In the past I found what I wanted but them I couldn't find a buyer for my house at that time & sale couldn't proceed. Thanks.

OK, if you find what you want and you are able to sell your house easily, then look at getting a bridging loan. Allows you to buy the second house while waiting to sell yours.
Of course, we know you won't do that, in the same way you will continue to destroy the chain, upset the person who thinks they are actually buying your house and still get banned from mumsnet.

Are you saying as a contractor you only have one house?

hey all the houses sold in days and offers were accepted, ask yourself why your experience was different?

Could be a coincidence...

No issue with two separate transactions.
You are chain free effectively on T2 so in a better position.
My advice man up grow a pair get your face mask on and for gawds sake find a property that meets with your exacting standards.

No ..I wasn't sitting idle. Been in the market for last 1 year. Found 3 properties I liked. But none of those agencies accepted my offer at that time saying my house is Not SOLD. Before covid I sold my house by that time properties I liked all disappeared or Sold. So I took 1 month to find another one by that time Covid came.

After lockdown I found house and price agreed and then my buyer disappeared so that didn't proceed. Now I got a new buyer no properties I like available!!

Last time I didn't even instruct solicitor and told agency I w ill not instruct solicitor until I find a property. This time I am not sure I should instruct solicitors and let their survey go ahead while I search...
