Even if you can afford the bridging loan I wouldn't hun. Thing is moving, selling buying is stressful enough when things go smoothly let alone throwing the stress of not selling your house in the loop. Plus as someone else mentioned you may be tempted to take the first offer you get just so you make sure you sell rather than waiting and getting the best possible price. Although this might seem to be the perfect house I am sure you will find something else, as much as it sucks having to let it go. You could put in the offer subject to sale and see what happens though. You never know - it might be the best offer they get and if they accept, if they don't well it wasn't meant to be?! oxox Good luck deciding.
