To be annoyed with these house sellers…

So I know I probably am being unreasonable but actually just need a vent.

We put in an offer on a house earlier this week, we fell in love with it and offered £12k over asking. We met the sellers and got on like a house on fire. They took a lot of pride in the property and seem to want to take in to account who will be buying their house. I know there were another four offers but from what the EA would tell us we were the highest (all offers were asking price and above). The sellers haven’t found anywhere as they are moving to a different city so it’s just slower as they can’t just nip for viewings and our house is on the market but not sold (viewings are commencing next week) the EA told me when they had the viewing that they had more viewings booked in for this weekend but as they had, had so many this week plus offers they were looking to cancel and accept an offer before the weekend. I just felt in my gut the house was ours…

Just heard from the EA that they are planning on commencing with viewings this weekend. AIBU to be a bit miffed?

Can anyone who has sold before give me any possible insight to what they are thinking?! Surely you would want to be sold as quickly as possible and with solid offers on the table would pick one. Especially as you have a couple of offers over asking?!

Any news op? Did you get any viewings and hopefully offers on yours?

I’m back! So good news and bad news…

The good news is we did get ONE offer and we accepted. It’s bittersweet though as the bad news is we didn’t get the house, they ended up going with a lower offer from a FTB as many of you predicted. I’ll be honest it does still perplex me a little BUT I do get it as our buyer from the off has asked about timelines etc so I am trying to see it as a good thing as I know the people selling the house were struggling to find somewhere, and I would be really stressed about something I have no control over - at least we can look for something that’s ready to go! Although saying this not one house in our price range has come on the market since that house went up though so who knows what will happen but I’m sure something will come up :)

@viques It must be so boring being realistic and logical all the time 🙄 if I want to get ahead of myself and be positive and in denial about the situation just let me.

How very rude.

Nicely timed! I stand by what what I said 😂 Bit weird you’ve scrolled through a whole thread and decided to comment days later on something that wasn’t even to you when a couple of people actually quoted what you originally said. I replied to what you said and you just ignored it, this shows you’re just trying to be nasty 👍🏼
