Buying in a chain- risk of being strung along?

    Hi,

    I have seen a property that I like. I am a little put off by the fact that the agent said the current owners are looking to buy a property type that can be hard to come by at the moment and it may take some time for them to find something suitable. I am in no major rush to move forward but there are some new builds that I would be interested in coming on sale in the new year and I'm afraid I will miss out on the opportunity to buy one in my price range by going sale agreed on this property only for the owner to pull out of the sale. I do really like the house (as much if not more than the new builds coming up). How common is it for a house to go on sale and the owner to take it off the market or put it back on the market in months to come looking for a higher offer?

    Any info would be appreciated!

    Your under no obligation to continue the purchase at the sale agreed phase. If you find its dragging out and you want to go for something else, you can.
