Still ongoing but no end in sight.Is the new property still being worked on? Appreciate the timelines are no longer on track, but has work stopped completely?
No timeline in sight and progress is glacial, I've no idea how long it will take. No relatives living nearby and we are restricted to where we are due to schools and work etc. Honestly feels like such a complete disaster all round, compounded by the fact that I saw it coming as a worst-case but let myself be persuaded to shrug off my negative mindset and hope for the best. Never again...How far away is house completion? Can you do anything on the storage costs, is there anything you hung onto that you thought was a short period and now you could dispose of or sell to ease that expense? Is there any leeway on rental, do you have relatives you could stay with if needed? More disruption but you could look at it on the basis of spending time with close family eg grandparents that probably wouldn't happen again.

I suggest that you shout it at the wall. "I was right, I knew it, you didn't listen and look at the mess we are in now".
It's a lot to me! Would have happily taken a price fall if we were at least still in the comfort of our own home which is why I was more inclined to stay put. And we're still not out of the woods so the tally's not even finalised, which is prob the hardest of all to stomach.In the grand scheme of things and in the context of two big transactions, €40k isn’t a king’s ransom. The new place probably has increased in value, so if it was me I wouldn’t beat myself up over it. Hindsight is great sight and in terms of bad decision making, this really isn’t that bad.
Each approach had its risks, if you had held on and the market collapsed in the meantime the loss could have been much greater, its a bit like shares, its very hard to buy at the very bottom and sell at the very top you just need to pick a spot you can live with.It's a lot to me!

The lesson is, never give up control of your life to be dependent on someone else's timeline.
