Ok we have agreed a private sale with someone we sort of know (school mum). Great house but maybe bit small. Top end of our budget but agreed to price as nothing and I mean nothing on the market for months and we need to be out of our house very soon.
Estate agent has let me know of another property about to come on next week. It is a 90k cheaper and roughly about the same size (maybe even nicer inside than other house). Location not just as good - access up a private narrow road but actual house has a lot of space.
If we pull out of original house the 1st house people will lose their house! My husband doesn't care about things like this but he doesn't have to see family most days. I understand you can't pay 90k extra to be nice. Original house actually looks nicer from outside though. They had it valued by estate agent pre brexit though and we have agreed 20k less than they wanted (as they are saving on estate agent fees). Now I feel we are paying too much when a similar house down the road is cheaper (further from station and down narrow lane).
My brain is mush! We might not even get 2nd house if it goes on open market whereas original house didn't even go on market so didn't have this hassle.
