Hello, I wondered if anyone could help or understand as I am having many sleepless nights and much anxiety....
In short, we are looking for a house. Last Saturday I went to see a house that my DH had seen earlier that day and said was amazing. I went to see the house and it is the first house that I have seen (have been to see loads), that actually seemed a spacious family home. We are in London so it's very pricey and in our area it seems that you don't get much for your money.
Anyway saw this house and it is amazing, the vendors have completely done a modern kitchen, it's well looked after garden etc. It is only a little bit away. It means we would have to move DS school but it would be from a good school to a 'outstanding' school. Also he is in reception so not too much of a wrench...so the house ticks lots of boxes.
I got in an almighty panic and slightly obsessed with the house, I put in an offer for the asking price on Monday which was accepted. Since then I have been completely wracked with self-doubt about the decision, I feel very confused and am not sure if its the right thing to do. I don't know if what I'm feeling is gut instinct or if I'd feel like this about anywhere - help I feel a bit mad.
]The agent sensed my doubt I think and said basically did I want to pull out on Tuesday, and I didn't. I feel like everything has snowballed, and feel a bit scared to tell the agent that I don't think I want to buy, yes I know it's pathetic - I feel so bad for the vendors as they have been let down once before by a buyer so are quite wary. I managed to get a second look at the house after much hassling of the agent, and much evasion by them. I went to look again yesterday and my feelings of doubt have not gone away. DH loves the house....help, what are my real feelings? Is it normal to feel so anxious about buying a house, is this why buying and selling is supposed to be so stressful. I actually think I've lost half a stone in a week - I am lying awake not sure about the decision and feeling so bad about letting the vendors down.
Coupled with this our buyer came to look at our flat again and it;s not looking too positive as she seemed quite negative about the flat. Our agent told us to keep hush, but shouldn't we let the vendors know.
I have never done this before and am feeling hopelessly confused...sorry I am ranting and I do appreciate how lucky we are to be able to buy, but I want to do the right thing....
