Maybe IABU and am too emotionally involved in it all to see the situation clearly. We are having to move house ( not my personal choice but due to financial issues ( some of which I didn't know about till some months ago).
We had an offer on ours we accepted ( cash buyers - no chain. This was great for us as we need to move in august due to my job and the mortgage - it will affect the no. of years we can get 1 for due to DH's age etc). The guy made one offer, had a surveyor round the next day and then upped his offer a little bit. We found one ( no chain either) and had our offer accepted. This was back in june. We had all our surveys done etc and filled out all the paperwork for the family buying this ( what we are leaving etc).
Had all our mortgage accepted etc and we thought things were moving along fine.
Last week, we had heard nothing from the people buying this, so we got the solicitor to chase it and they said they had sent everything back to the family a month ago and they'd heard nothing either. I am assuming they contacted them as 2 days later we got a letter through the post with 20 ridiculous questions on it.
Answered all those, sent it back. Had a phone call yesterday from estate agents saying that since they want to extend, they were going to apply for a small mortgage to cover the costs of it and could someone pop round to do an evaluation etc. Even though we were a bit surprised this is all coming out so late we of course said yes.
Someone turns up today and tells me he is doing a valuation of the house, full home buyers survey etc. I've spoken to Dh and he thinks the buyer is going to try and drop the price. Not only does this delay everything, but we can't afford to sell for less ( we already are selling for less than we put it on for).
I am feeling really and :( about all this now. Why leave it so late to do all these things now. We had expected to exchange before now!!
AIBU to feel annoyed and upset? I know these things take time but this guy seems to be taking the p*ss tbh.
Sorry for the long and garbled post, tried to write it all down rather than drip feed over a few posts.
