Hi- timeline of what’s happened:
4 weeks ago Husband and I went to view a house and wanted it. Put our house on market immediately.
Had 4 offers received on ours within first week, accepted one, and put an offer in on house we wanted which was accepted and both houses taken off market. Instructed solicitor.
10 days later our buyer pulled out. Our EA contacted other interested parties but they are both waiting for their houses to sell. The vendor said she would wait for us.
However we received a phone call 6 days later to say the vendor had accepted an offer from another interested party, this was on Thursday.
We are gutted and unsure what to do. No other houses we are interested in as yet- like I said we only wanted to move for this particular house and we were over the moon when a sale was agreed. Plenty of viewers over the weekend and I’m pretty sure we will receive another offer tomorrow and will once again be able to proceed. If we do receive an offer and are once again in a position to proceed, I want to go back with a higher offer. I don’t like the idea of gazumping but that house was perfect for us and our family.
Any advice welcome, Thankyou :-)
