Accepted an offer on my house a few weeks ago, first time buyers, thought it was just the woman, turns out it is her bf too, both FTB. Offered on a house with no chain in my turn, thinking it would be straightforward. 4 weeks later the mortgage my buyers had supposedly been accepted for is proving a problem - turns out bf has a CCJ (he says its a mistake) and after a few weeks of my following up the latest is that she is going to buy it by herself (so I guess his CCJ is more of a problem than presented). Called for an update today, and now hearing that the electoral roll needs updating before their mortgage person can put their application through - last week was told it would be done by yesterday, now being told it may happen tomorrow.
I am obviously concerned not to lose the house I am trying to buy which is going through probate. We have been told 8 weeks is the average time at the moment. We have lost about 4 weeks to this dicking around.
I am away next week (unavoidable). Today I told the estate agent that if it is not worked out when I get back I want to put the house back on the market. Now thought it over and am wondering if it is unreasonable to put it back on the market now with a view to getting viewings set up for when I am back. If the current people get themselves sorted before I accept another offer great.
I dont want to be an arsehole about this, but I am really getting concerned about my purchase. And feeling a bit annoyed that I feel like I am being strung along by my buyers. AIBU to put the house back on the market now?
