Worry not – The security of selling first
Selling first is a great option for those who would prefer not to endure the uncertainty of purchasing whilst unsure of the exact value of their own residence. There is little worse than discovering the value of your own residence doesn’t come anywhere near matching the purchase price of your new home. You can avoid this uncertainty by selling your property first, ensuring that the budget for your new property matches the price achieved by the old. Your main conundrum? Should you sell first, you need to find a property to move into – stat. If the stars align and the right property appears – well done you! But if not, you may need to compromise and elect to lease, or buy something that suits – but is not perfect. Waiting for the right one – Buying first Buying first is a great option for those who feel confident about the value their property will achieve at market.
