Some advice needed. We might have found a buyer for our house at last and will need to move into rented accommodation until we find the next house. It could be for six months, a year or longer depending on how soon we find what we are looking for. What is the best thing to do both financially and practically, rent a furnished place and put furniture and personal things into storage or rent a bigger, perhaps more expensive unfurnished place and have all our own things around us. I know it will be stressful whichever we do and I won't be happy until we are settled in a new place with all my familiar things around me.

Some great advice here, thank you everyone. I loved the idea of treating it all like a holiday, eating out a lot , no gardening or house maintenance to do. I really will try to do that and bring a positive attitude to what, frankly, I have been dreading. I think I will go for unfurnished with a garage to store the boxes of stuff I want to keep but don't need day to day. The clear out sounds good. There will be a lot of stuff to get rid of as we will be downsizing and anyway, as I've got older I've got more and more fed up with all the stuff and clutter. A new era beckons!
