If you are in place where buyers are few and far between then sell up.
You have 5 months in which to find and do a role anywhere in the country to get your mortgage application through then you can dump the role."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

It's also in a very quiet secluded spot & most of the properties I've been looking at haven't got that level of privacy, or are on a busy road etc. Problem is, I need more space hence the need for a move but I worry that I won't find anything that ticks all the boxes & once I've sold up there's no turning back.Comment

Years ago, around 2009 in fact, my cousin and her husband sold their place but hadn't found a house to buy. It took them a while to sell because the housing market had slowed drastically around that time, so they were happy to sell and - I believe - they thought prices would come down and they would buy their next house cheaper.
They have been renting ever since. That's right, 6 years of money thrown into the rent bin - and only now have found a place to buy. Their old place has doubled in value (East London somewhere) and the place they're buying is around 50% more expensive than it would have been in 2009. So they've lost all the way.
For now, house prices are likely to keep rising, especially out of London, so don't procrastinate too long ... good luckComment
