Stressful moving home problems.

My son did this recently in America. He had a proper contract drawn up. He stayed for 3 weeks I think.

I DNR think actual “renting” is a possibility because of all the legal requirements of being a landlord. Financially and in terms carrying out all the legal checks it wouldn’t be viable.

However, I once had to stay on a property after completion when the 1987 hurricane hit on the day of removal. Everybody in the chain had to sign a Solemn Declaration that they would move out when required. Which was only three days later but we still all stayed in our homes so it must be possible.?

don’t not DNR

Your buyers can’t do this if they are getting a mortgage. They have to have vacant possession. And the insurance would be invalidated if the insurer wasn’t told about the arrangement.

Desperate ‘times call for desperate measures.
How big a family and friends do you have?
How much stuff are you moving: 2/3/ 4 bed house/ bungalow?
In your situation I would be looking at friends and family to muck in.
Obviously hiring suitable vehicle.

They are cash buyers so not a problem.

Friends and family all in 70's and son still receiving physio for torn rotary cuff in shoulder. We would have gone down that route if it was a possibility.

Your Solicitor should be answering this question, it will be legally complicated to say the least

We will be speaking to our Solicitor first thing on Monday. Was just wondering if anyone else had found themselves in this position.
We have moved home 7 times before but this is definitely the most stressful move.

My Dad did it the other way round: moved into an empty flat he was buying (for cash) and paid rent to the owner while the purchase went through.

Don't know if that helps or if Germanshepherdsmum has any thoughts about it?

Speak to solicitor!

Man/men and van and self storage unit perhaps??

Newquay DH still trying to get through to our solicitor this morning about our options. With the benefit of hindsight we should have stayed with our original plan of moving out on 24th and got the Removal company to move our belongings to a storage unit closer to our new home (80 miles away). Seems any Removal Company within a couple of hundred miles from us are all fully booked.
Katek - also tried that route but don't feel confident that the ones that have availability will look after our antiques and valuables.

Hope you’re sorted out by now?
