...the shitting bastards who have just decided they don't want our house!
They viewed 2 months ago. They had a cash buyer and needed to move quickly. It was imperative that their son sees the house before they decided, and it had to be that weekend but they couldn't give me an exact time.
So we cancelled our plans
And they didn't turn up. They said sorry, son couldn't make it, would come the next weekend.
So we cancelled our plans again (I had been waiting 2YEARS for this weekend). They didn't turn up.
One month after viewing they made an offer. No second viewing, no son, just made the offer. Their buyer had been waiting 6 MONTHS so could we find somewhere quickly with no onward chain.
We viewed and fell in love with a property. It took us 10 days, but we had a nice short chain. 4 people.
Our buyers wouldn't give EA their Solicitors. 2 weeks later, no, son has to see it before we commit (WTF what is an offer if not commitment?)
They were going to come down last weekend. Didn't come. Monday we hear that this is becuase of the accident on the M5. Friends of theirs - 20 miles away from us and near the accident - said the roads were very busy. OURS WEREN'T !
Today is exactly one month since the offer. The val was done on our new property today. EA rang our buyers to chase them up AND THEY PULLED OUT AS THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MESS US ABOUT.
Thank you for reading this far - (if you have) I was hoping writing it down would make me feel better. It didn't, I still want to beat the crap out of him.
The EA has just rung me and said, there is a chance that he may want to continue at a later date. My reply was not polite.
