Its a very hard situation - jump in and risk losing hundreds per day or delay and the property goes quickly!

Is it nice over there? The closest I went to Norwich was a day visit to Great Yarmouth as a child (nice beach)
This situation sounds like it's getting out of hand. I've been in the same house for about 7 years, so I'm not up to date with this. Are you dependent on the Norwich location or can you move anywhere in the UK? If you're income is purely from the Internet there are some great places you can move, where most people can't go as they're not close enough to jobs. In these type of locations it's easy to find somewhere to rent as there are houses left empty; landlords can't be too picky.
