Sold ex-marital home in December. Split cash, giving me a big deposit. But small mortgage as I'm self-employed.
Found house EXACTLY the right price in EXACTLY the right location.
Offered asking price, accepted, all good. Only one snag - owners had to find a place to buy.
Waited - they found place in March. Seller said he was keen to complete in 8 weeks. Then proceeded to stall and eff up every single thing until now. My mortgage offer expires end of June. My panicky sellers went round to his house and asked him WTF was he doing? He just stood there.
Sellers just rang me to say it's looking bad. They will give me till end of June at the current price, but after that they will put the house back on the market for 25k more as their estate agent hold them house prices have shot up 10% in the last six months.
I'm heartbroken. None of this is my fault - I have no chain. I'm living at my parents' house with the kids. It's lovely but I NEED my own place.
I'm so angry and heartbroken. Back to square one after six months. And £2k down in fees, solicitors bills and surveys for I house I can't buy! Gutted.
