Yes, building a new house but how about the current house?

This site is more about building a new house, but one of our concerns is also selling our current semi-detached house (paritalo).
We are trying at the moment to sell it by ourselves on www.oikotie.fi and hopefully we can get it sold soon We plan to move directly from the old house to the new one somewhere in November.

I would be interested to hear from other house builders how did you manage the sale? And the “bridge” financing? Any tips welcome.
Having two house loans at the moment does not feel very good/ safe. Luckily, at least the bank agreed that we can pay interest-only and no loan repayments for an extended period.

I have found at this website which explains quite well in English the steps in selling your house by yourself without real estate agents. This site belongs to Finnish consumer protection agency.

  1. We sold our home directly without real estate agent. It's actually very easy. Just order all required documents from the building manager and provide them to the buyer before anything is signed. Contract was signed in our bank and money was transferred using cheques. The contract is very simple and you can find templates by using Google.

    We had two house loans. We didn't feel we had any risk as our previous home was only a few years old and in area, which had high demand for the kind of apartments we had, but very little supply.
