To feel utterly heartbroken over a home.

[TryAgainAnotherDay]

Renting a house for 6 years. DDs first home. LL sent us a letter 18 months ago that he was selling, we went to buy however due to problem with ownership on sellers side and then increase in mortgage rates the sale fell through.

Nowhere at all to rent and anything that does come up is gone in a day. Only option left was shared ownership in a new build. Was reluctant that house had been pushed back a few times however sales rep assured us would be ready in September so we exchanged.

Had to move out of our home today to live with relatives for a month. Not ideal as will mean over an hour commute to work and then over an hour back, but manageable for a month.

Finished emptying the house and DD asked to see her bedroom, I took her to an empty room and broke down. Then I got an email from sales rep to say the completion date has been pushed back by at least 8 weeks. I'm distraught, it's going to be a nightmare with work and also mortgage offer expires in December if we go past that date either mortgage will cost us more then we can afford or we lose our deposite and become penniless.

Got to relatives house and DD is hysterical, she has been crying for 3 hours saying she wants to go home and nothing I do is soothing her, she is just pushing me away.

I'm heartbroken. DD is so unhappy, DH looks like he is about to go to the gallows and im just so worried we are going to end up homeless and penniless.

I have no idea what we are going to do, I've been so stupid.

I can’t add anything but you have not been stupid. This is not your fault, it’s just the circumstances. I hope DD settles and things improve for you soon.

It sounds really tough for you all. But your daughter is absolutely taking her cues from you and reacting this way because of what she's picking up from you and your husband and what she's overheard or seen, not because she's moving house at two years old, so reframe your thinking about it, at least in front of her. There's no need for her to be so distressed that she's crying for hours - she's 2 years old, as long as she has her parents with her and she's somewhere safe and warm, that's what matters.

I hope things look up for you soon

OP, what are the the terms of your exchange of contract? I hope there is a log stop date?
IMO Your solicitor should have looked after you here and made sure that a long stop completion date did not go past your mortgage offer.

Buying is always so stressful, fingers crossed that all goes smoothly from now on.

Game face on and just be calm and secure around your Dd.

I've just had another breakdown infront of DD, I feel awful but can't help it.

We have gone to love with DF and couldn't be more grateful to him, however he is a drinker, and not nice when he has had a drink. We have been here one night and already he has gone mad at me in front of DD. I could manage for 4 weeks but don't think I will cope much longer

Now you know you need somewhere for longer can you find somewhere temporary back in your home area? Ask on local Facebook groups for house sitting? A temporary short rent?

Have you looked at air bnb ?
