Moving house - so stressed with this

silverbolt

Due to an inheritance tax of 18 grand im having to sell my house, my house is sold and i have one bought (bigger, for less money and out in the country).

I have until Friday to be out of my house. Most of my stuff is all boxed save for clothes and kitchen.

Due to the bank holiday no solicitor is open.
I have get a load of stuff to the tip and struggling to find someone with a trailer until i get the money through i cant afford to hire someone

I dont know when i get my money, i dont know where to leave the keys. Im chasing my own solicitor for any kind of information. And due to the woman whose house im buying going to austrailia and not signed all her paperwork it was supposed to be sorted by the 15th april i now have to find somewhere to keep all my furniture. I never ever want to to do this again. So stressed and ARRRRRRRGH

Best of luck, we just moved out of a house, it's such a horrible and stressful time.

Ask the seller for the keys now. That will hurry her on..

Both sales should go through the same day. If one doesntm then the other doesnt. Just ring your solicitor and leave a message with him to stall it for a couple of days as you are not ready.

Part of the condition of the sale of my house was that the sale had to go through by the 25th april.

Moving isnt the issue i have somewhere to go - its just where to leave my stuff which is basically the contents of a three bedroom house

Again, i suggest you dont panic, ask for help, and more time if needed, i worked in a charity shop , plenty of them about now, where they would gladly drive over and take whatever you didnt want, then you just have to decide what you really do want or need.
I dont own property but i have moved more times than i care to remember, and it will be fine but yes can be a logistical nightmare. Try to enjoy it

well done! yes changing nest is totally draining. have had 8 moved in recent years and been here 18 months and have finally stopped wondering where the door is when i wake up.
