With whats happened to my best friends baby this week my whole house saga has been put on the back burner as it doesn't seem that relevant but it is still stessing me out no end.
Background is flat has been on the market since August (in SE London) no offers few viewings. After January loads of viewings one offer bit on the low side but we accepted it, buyer is a first time buyer and wanted to move in within 5 weeks. We are relocating back to Scotland so we thought we had better get our skates on and get up there and find ourselves a house we did this last weekend. In Scotland you have to move fast and have a survery done before putting in the offer, we have done this and the offer has been accepted. The vendors are moving to a new property so want to move in 6 weeks which should be fine BUT our buyer still hasn't had his survey carried out (4 weeks) every week our EA's phone him and he says he is still wanting to buy the property and is trying to book the survey for the end of the week. On top of this we are still having people coming around which is fine is stressful with a baby and 3 cats in a tiny 2 bed flat. If someone else puts in an offer and gets a survey first this buyer will lose out.
So it's just all a waiting game meanwhile the clock is ticking on the house in Scotland I don't know how it works as we haven't signed anything yet but we could lose the house.
On top of this DP is trying applying for internal vacancies within his company in Scotland and is mega stressed about that as well.
I feel guilty for moaning as compared to what my friend is going through (losing her baby girl through gross medical negligence) this is nothing. I'm making a 6 hour round trip to see her this weekend not that I don't want to but I resent having bloody viewers round this house before and after I come back.
Thanks if you have taken the time to read this I'm just a bit low right now, I hate feeling this helpless, helpless for my friend and helpless for the house situation.
