To want to take my petty revenge?

Long story slightly shorter, buying a house off someone who bought it with the intention of moving to this city, but never found a job and so has now sold it to us.

There were thousands of pounds worth of repairs to be done, which they promised to do before the final signature, and the estate agent was happy with this when we signed the initial papers. However they've now reneged and won't even share the costs with us so we have to pay all of it to make the house habitable.

Now the wife has arranged the final signatures for a time she knew I'd be at work - I'm a primary school teacher so not allowed time off in term time, which she knew - and she doesn't work so is a lot more flexible. We've tried to change it but she's flat refused; it's then or never. So we've finally agreed and I don't get to sign the papers which I'm really disappointed about.

WIBU to ask you for ideas for non-illegal revenge? My husband says that living in their dream house is revenge enough but I'm not as high minded as that.

Does that mean the house won't be in your name? Just your DH's?

Which country is the house in?

It'll be in both our names, but he gets to sign on my behalf.
