So they have accepted your offer at £438k. You need to sell your house to buy the new one, for an additional £2k they will take it off the market to allow you to sell your house within 2 weeks.
Sounds crazy and if you can't buy the new house without selling your current house you are in a bit of a spot.
I would go for as much time as you can get.
