Buying and selling a house at the same time means coordinating two transactions. A property chain can involve several households, so preparation and regular communication are useful even when your own move appears straightforward.
Clarify your budget and position
Start with a valuation of your current home. Discuss your purchase budget and financing with an appropriate adviser, allowing for moving costs as well as the purchase price. Avoid assuming a suggested asking price is a guaranteed sale price.
Keep the chain informed
Tell your agent and conveyancer about your preferred timescale, any constraints and changes to your circumstances. Ask who will provide updates and which outstanding tasks could affect progress. Agree moving arrangements only with guidance from the professionals handling your transactions.
Use our selling guide and buyer information to prepare both sides of your move. Contact House Fox to discuss a linked sale and purchase.
