When a particular house type comes up for sale in the location I'm after I will try to buy it. I will be trading up and will have to sell my house first (priced realistically with a view to a quick cash sale). My current thinking is that I will ask the Estate Agent selling the house I want to also sell mine. I think that this could simplify and speed up the whole process, and may concentrate the mind of the EA who will sell two houses if they can sell mine. Would this course of action make sense or might it be unwise?
