So I had an offer on my house which I accepted. Unfortunately it is from someone with a buy to let empire who is getting 2 other properties remortgaged to release cash and then needs to get another mortgage on my house to be able to buy it. Complicated!
I have asked that the buyer gets on and books the survey that they need to get their mortgage. Without the mortgage they don't have the money to buy and without the survey they don't have a mortgage. No survey = no mortgage = no house sale!
My estate agent says I'm holding up the sale because I'm refusing to get my solicitor to draw up the contract until the buyer has their mortgage in place! I don't see why I should spend money on a contract if the buyer doesn't have the money to buy the house! Why should I be out of pocket if the buyer has no intention of buying my house?
Estate agent says what I'm doing is completely wrong and that I'm the problem!
Am I? Or is my buyer messing me around and the estate agent is stalling? Estate agent has taken my house off all websites against my wishes and is refusing to do viewings saying it is sale agreed. I have nothing other then a piece of paper saying offer accepted from 10 days ago and the buyer has made no effort to do anything about a survey!
