Coordinating a sale with a move
Work with confirmed dates, uncertain dates and a practical contingency plan.
Separate confirmed dates from possibilities
Write down which dates are contractual, which are tentative and which depend on an assessment or provider. A potential care admission date should not be treated as a confirmed moving date.
Questions about the property
- How would completion and possession fit the destination’s arrangements?
- Could the home remain occupied during showings?
- If it is vacant, who handles maintenance and insurance questions?
- What happens if a sale takes longer than hoped?
- What are the costs of overlap, storage or temporary accommodation?
Bring the right questions to the right person
Ask care providers about access and destination arrangements, legal advisers about contracts and authority, and financial professionals about funding or borrowing. A real estate professional can discuss market information, marketing and proposed sale dates.
Keep the decision flexible
Explore your own circumstances with care, legal and financial professionals. Do not assume selling the home is required to access care. We plan the dates with you and discuss contingencies before you commit.
