Re: permanent residency help
Yes you can. Lots of people do and have posted about it here. Get over and get landed well before your PR visa expires. You then should have plenty of time to sell up on move over.

My husband landed Christmas 2005 and we didnt move over here permanently until October 2007. Like you it took time to sell our house. Good luck.

We got our visas in December and are going over in 5 weeks time for 2 weeks for a final recce as to where we are going to hopefully stay. Then we will be coming back to a hopefully sold house then making our way across to CA. Like you and alot of people we want to sell the house before we go.

There is no flexibility. So don't leave it to the last minute.
Even if you find a buyer for your house, you need to understand that an offer on your house is legally meaningless (at least in England and Wales) until contracts are exchanged.
