Trying to find a house rental.

Sold my place and complete on the 30th April. New house not ready until August time, so need a 6 month rental.

Of course, 2 weeks ago there were a couple I could have gone for, now there are almost none.

Most available are either not available until 1st or 2nd week of May or want a year rental minimum.

Just hope some appear over the next week and we can get in there quick.
 
Oh dear it gets worse

We exchanged contracts on Tuesday of this week, we have a very short chain.

Our current house, or more correctly the ground around our house suffered from heave a few years ago.

This was mentioned to the surveyor and his report to the Nationwide BS mentioned this.

Our purchaser received a mortgage offer from Nationwide and we thought all was OK.

Then our purchaser tried to get Nationwide to insure the property. Which BTW we currently have mortgaged and insured through Nationwide.

Nationwide have now turned round and said that they are not happy with something in the survey and they may withdraw the offer.

I am surprised that they can do this after they have made an offer and contracts have been exchanged based on these funds having already been approved.

Our solicitor thinks they may be able to do this and that our buyer could end up in breach of contract.
 
Thanks Sue

Sods law as well, we have actually found a rental property that fits in with our timescales.

Hopefully everything will get sorted out tomorrow.
 
Similar to this happened to me a few years back I ended up getting independant insurance with extra cover for ground movement tell your buyer to shop around but to be truthfull with insurance companies someone in home insurance may advice you better Good luck with your sale and the purchase of your new home be prepared for more stressfull days ahead
