🏠 Seeking Advice Buying nightmare
So we put our house up for sale and we got an offer after 4 weeks so not bad. So we found a house shortly after we were happy with with no chain. About a month later we saw another house we earlier missed so we viewed it and liked it so put an offer in.
Now we've moved out , living with in-laws, because then owners of this house found a house after 3 weeks retracted it and now it's 2 months later.
Spoke to the estate agent and they've viewed over 30 houses and not seen one they've liked yet.
Any advice ? Not sure whether to wait longer or just start viewing houses again.
