i would try and hang onto your buyer if you can - the market is not great at the moment and it is getting close to christmas.
is there somewhere that you could stay for a couple of weeks after the house sale went through?
you would have to get the shippers in before hand but at least you could still do all the other things afterwards
Thanks guys for your help!!, GOD I thought at the time the visa was bad now I know it was a breeze. Hope you all get a buyer, and to everyone who has one , hope it goes well. I am not sure whats going to happen but I am not giving up.

I dont want to pull out because the market is dead here.
What do We do??? I feel this was going wrong ages ago , buyer been a pain from the start. We are using the money from the sale to get over to Australia and start our new life, I have just lost my nan and this really is done it for me any tips , sorry to butt in on your thread.
Yes its a pain !! but if they give you a definate date you could get your items shipped etc on the same day maybe do a short term rental or stay with friends until your you are ready to go and you have sorted the other parts out. It will seem alot and to much to do in one day but you will cope and it is normal to exchange and complete on the same day. I would say you have no choice you do not want to go this far down the line and say no for the buyers to go like you said the market is horrendous and you want nothing getting in the way of selling that house.

Sorry to hear about your nan to

Good luck

nope i can categorically state that this last week of house selling was FAR worse than anything the visa application put me through

at least you sound more cheerful this morning - keep smiling - it makes you feel better

Im up early frantically cleaning and getting the house spic and span for buyers coming to see house tonight. Here is question for you. we have a viewing tonight who is in a chain of 2. We have a rental investment company coming monday. If the investment offer us say 90k and the couple the asking price 95k, which would you take? the investment company will complete in 2WEEKS ! is it worth loosing the 5k ?

it depends how much you need the 5k!
if it would be nice but you can live without it then i would go for the fast completion.
if you are going to really struggle with £5k less in the bank then i would go for the buyer (although this is riskier as a buyer can still back out right until the contracts are signed)

it would be a tough choice

Can't believe it needed cleaning. UGH. come and view ours - they are all spotless!

£20k under is 15% below - they may not accept but it's worth a shot if you can emphasise that the loft room will need work to get it up to building regs standard.

waiting for the ea to open, then will see what happens

wish us luck
