What happens when seller hadn't found house yet?
I understand this is common, but i'm very interested in a property where the seller hasn't found anywhere to buy yet and they have a family and ton of stuff to move out of the property.
I love the house, but am chain free and ready to move. I have no idea how long it could take them to find a property and what that chain will be.
I'm trying to find that out and know they are actively searching but if I make an offer, I don't understand what the process is / how easily I can pull out if they end up not finding somewhere any time soon.
E.g. I don't want to pay for a buyers survey and my solicitors with the risk they could not buy somewhere for months which is not suitable for me.
If i made any offer, what would be the next steps and would i typically have to commit before getting oversight on the full chain?
Thanks so much!
