When you are both buying and selling a house in the same move, in most respects it’s the same as buying and selling. However there are a few differences.

how it works

The stages are the same as for buying and selling, but the key difference is in the timing. Typically your buyer will be selling their current house to somebody who is also selling. And your seller will be buying a house from somebody who is also buying. And so the chain continues.

Everybody will want to move on the same day, otherwise somebody is going to end up with the hassle and expense of moving twice. The key thing is to make sure it isn’t you!

my fees

I offer a small discount if you instruct me on both a purchase and a sale, and they proceed simultaneously: my fee is one price band lower than shown in fees for buying and fees for selling.
