O/T House buying advice needed
Hi ladies,
Since having our lo we've been thinking of moving house from our 2 bed semi as we could really do with some extra space especially as were planning on Ttc next year. Our house goes on the market next week but today we viewed a property-we've already seen 10 and non of them were right, this one was perfect-it ticked all our boxes. I just know someones going to snap it up before ours is sold. Is there anything we can do? We're new to all this, I'm guessing we can't put an offer in until ours is sold? Xx

When we were buying the last 2 times, agents wouldn't even let us book viewings until they confirmed our house was on the market.
I would advise you don't look until you've had some interest in your house - that way you're less likely to be upset!
If your offer is a good one close to the asking and your finances are all in good order you can make a condition of your offer that the property is taken off the market as soon as it is accepted.
Exciting and stressful times!!
Good luck xxx
It was great fun viewing the houses but after today we've said no more as we came away feeling thouroughly depressed that we've found our dream home but can't buy it .
I guess we've just got to be patient. We've been going over our finances, trying to figure out if we could rent ours out but it get too complicated. I really wish we'd not viewed any before our was sold-nevermind, you live and learn! Xx

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack! Just needed a rant.
Best of luck with the selling/hunting. I hope things start moving for you soon. x

money despite still bit having found anything,
we pulled out and luckily found a much better house that we moved into the day lo was born. What I'm trying to say is I don't think you've got anything to lose and if you've already found something it might just make your house more appealing to prospective buyers xx
The house we want has been on for 6 weeks, it's had 3 viewings and no offers (except ours), i understand now why moving house is so stressful !xx
