Buying and Selling at the Same Time
Selling and buying on the same day is normal in the UK and stressful for everyone in the chain. The fix is preparation rather than optimism.
Get sale ready first
Instruct a solicitor and complete the property forms before you accept an offer. Paperwork delays cause more collapsed chains than surveys do.
Understand the chain
Ask your agent how many parties sit above and below you. Each additional link adds risk and typically a fortnight to exchange.
Bridging and part exchange
Bridging finance breaks a chain but carries real cost. Price it properly against the alternative of renting between properties.
Protecting moving day
Book removals with a flexible cancellation window and ask about overnight storage on the vehicle. If keys are late, your load is already secure.
