    Just need to find a buyer for my place.

    The sellers are after £275, but realised the stamp duty prevents people offering close to that, hence snipped it for £250K.

    Although an estate, it is a nice big 4 bedder in Wilmslow in a nice quiet cul-de-sac.

    Really hoping this works out!

    The sellers have abandoned their lives and gone to a barge. Very bizarre - we are talking a crystal over the bed, cabled internet cables all over the house and colonic irrigation fluids in the kitchen. Oh, and a garage so chocker you cannot even walk into it.

    If successful, mission one is to get a clearance firm!

      Good luck, and now you have to sell your house. But if you can't sell your place the deal will fall through? Sounds like you will have to accept a low offer as well.

        Why is this your problem. It is normal to make it a condition of sale that the house is empty of junk.

          Contract to permie, now buying a house in this climate. Inconsistent thinking here? Didn't you want to get a perm role as a port for the coming storm? Which wouldn't make now a good time to buy a house?

              Silly sod.
              Moving as only £20K more to get a much larger detached house that is going for a bargain. Will not take a lot to get it up to scratch, hence will be in a better position.

              Only need a 100K mortgage over 15 years, ie, will have 150K equity.

              Hence crash would be a good thing for me.

                Wilmslow, have you looked for a mortgage yet?

                As one of the other posters pointed out, as the new house is a good deal, you'll also have to knock off a big chuck of your own property to level things out.

                The trouble is most people want their new house for a bargain price and sell their old one for top shelf money and are disappointed when they have to mark it down.

                You're gonna have to shift the banger first. Incidently... where are the piccies?

                  Know the saying 'Act in haste repent at leisure' often applies to marriage, but also to property.

                  The old place will have to be sold real cheap, and not because of the bad market. I mean he's had trouble with the neighbors. Police involved and all that. Will need to come clean now or could face having to buy it back / and or pay compensation to the unwitting buyer

                  Here are some solutions: He can always get a bridging loan and wait a few (many) years before selling the old place in order to get a good price. Or he can just rent it out, and get 100% mortgage on new place (maybe not possible now).These are just two ways to certain grief, but I can think of some more.

                    Large 4 bed detached in Wilmslow for £275k

                    Where's that then?

                    You're looking at £400k minimum for that.

                    You are funny!
