Hi, not sure if I'm posting in the right place...anyway to cut it short, my auntie has recently passed away. Iv always known they have got quite a bit of money, expensive house,etc and they told me over the years that if anything happened to them there was something left to me but I never wanted anything from them and never knew what exactly they wanted to leave. Since my aunties passing, my uncle visited and said their intention had been to sort me out helping me with a mortgage by the time I'm 25. Then the plan was to leave me £50,000 which was amazing of them. Then he said that basically they have decided to scrap that idea and he was then going to just buy us a house outright cash, which as you can imagine this was unbelievable to have this gesture, meaning we would be home owners and mortgage free in our 30's which for most people is crazy but for us especially we would never have a chance of getting a mortgage anytime soon. We rent our current house, have 5 children, work all the hours we can but saving is quite hard to do with 5 children and our credit rating is less than perfect and saving is quite hard so a mortgage is something we knew was not on the cards any time soon so this was literally turning things completely around for us.His budget was about £150000 but he raised it to £215000, he put an offer in on a 4 bed house, that was perfect and felt like a dream to be honest. The offer was accepted straight away and basically we were just waiting to sign the deeds and finish everything. Then my uncle tells us that some problem has come about regarding having to pay a lot of tax on this purchase and the house has fell through. I did not mind at all that things haven't worked out but the conversation was literally, and he is quite a blunt person, that the house hasn't gone through so that's that and that was a message passed on through my parents to tell me, he didn't come to break the news himself and I have not heard from him since. It has left me feeling quite confused and obviously the hope of bettering ourselves and kids and then to have it just ended quite suddenly with no real explanation or anything has been quite tough because we know it was literally like winning the lottery. I also struggle with the news more because he told our children we we moving to a bigger better house, with a massive garden and they were so excited and now their dreams have just been crushed. It was also made public to family and friends so I feel quite silly now facing people. Like I say I didn't expect anything from them but it's quite a big thing to happen only to be crushed so suddenly, it was easier to carry on as we were before the gesture was made and feel somewhat angry for him getting ours but most importantly our kids hopes up. Am I right to feel like that?
