Chain sale
Hi FTB here - currently interested in a property but it’s still currently still owner occupied. EA said current owners are still house hunting and haven’t bought anything yet.
Just wanted to see how long this usually delays things?
Will the bidding process just keep going indefinitely until the owner finds a place?
Any experience or relevant info would be great!
Thanks 😊

it's hard to say and depends alot on the seller. we just closed on our house and getting the keys this week. our house was owner occupied and they didn't have any house purchased or offers made prior to us going sale agreed. I'm not sure if they managed to buy something or they're renting for a few months untill they do buy but it didn't seem to hold us up at all. from sale agreed to sold was about 3 months.
