fuck and bollox been gazundered

[plim]

need some advice please, been gazundered two days before exchange by ftbuyers. They dropped their offer by 17k this morning stating the reason that it's going to cost them more than they thought to convert the office, outhouse and to do some remedial work like damp course, electrics and repointing.

The house is an absolute bargain already as we dropped the price by 40k to get a quick sale so we can get the house we want in time for my two children to start schools in september. We previously had tenants in there and they have now left, we have given notice on our tenancy for where we are living and are due to move in two weeks (completion date).

I immediately told the ea to stick it straight on the market and there has already been 3 viewings tonight, meanwhile, ea are trying to salvage the buyers offer by pointing out that there is electrical and damp certificates and a new damp course that was installed three months ago.

I am so, so devastated, don't know where we are going to live and god knows what to do about the kids school!!

fuckity fuck fuck

rant over! :(

Plim - if it's any consolation we should have completed last Thursday but still no exchange. Supposed to exchange today, blah blah blah. Tomorrow will become Thursday blah blah blah. I have given up quite frankly. Sorry you are having such a rough deal of it and sorry can't offer any advice or magic wand but you aren't alone.

...and if you haven't yet given up on them "because they absolutely definitely will complete tomorrow () but understandable from your perspective because you want schooling sorted out , please please reassure us that you will be leaving a dirty house, hiding leaving some prawns and an empty (good) wine bottle with a note that says "this is the bottle of wine that we would have left you if you hadn't fucked us about so we had to drink it to deal with the stress"

Lol you guys are so funny! It's so late in the day for school places etc. That I think we are pulling tomorrow from the entire thing, so will stay in rented house and will re rent ours out. We could do the remortgage but it will take two weeks to draw down and we are worried about neg equity. So it's tomorrow or nothing.

What has happened to nice single bloke? Can't believe you have allowed yourselves to be strung along like this. There is no way these buyers will ever buy your house.

Fwiw you could exchange and complete on the same day or within a couple of days.

I think they've got another house on the go that is their first choice and that's why they're stringing you along

Why don't you sell to that nice man and rent until you find another house you like?

Really sorry

What a pair of bastards. Console yourself with the thought of what that giant headed baby is going to do to Mrs Arsewipe's fanny #bucketmuff

Seriously though, you need to step away from the jokers and try to get the sale moving on with single gay guy. It Could still go through pretty quickly if you make it clear to his solicitor that it is a quick sale or no sale.

My parents are currently going through the same thing. Buyers are asking for guareantees on everything, despite all of it being there for 20+ years.

In their case it's because they don't have a solid mortgage. They are bastards of the highest order and shoukd sort it out.

Sack them off. do BTL.

Tell them to fuck off. What utter twats.

I think I posted it much earlier in this thread, or in another one, but according to some estate agents I talk to there are couples out there who do actually get some perverse kick out of stringing people along and pretending to buy a house but never doing so. Some go as far as the solicitor, surveys, paying out money but still do not buy.

Why estate agents do not tell sellers about such people, especially when they are known in an area, is beyond me.

Hope you get this sold.

Any news today Plim. I have read this whole thread with my jaw falling further and further. I am waiting for the buyers of my mother's house to pull out, supposedly they are waiting for their offer of advance from the Woolwich who are to be fair slow but I am ready to jump off a cliff.

arsewipe buyers have until 5pm today - solicitors are then under strict instructions to withdraw contract and proceed with single bloke. Tempted to say just go with single bloke anyway but one last stab at exchanging in time for schools and if not it's single bloke all the way.

Should Arsewipes actually complete, leave them a bottle of foul School Tombola wine and a nice card that says "you are a bunch of wankers and I hope you are thoroughly miserable here" inside.

Good luck Plim. They have one hour and three minutes. I am counting down to the big "fuck off".

Karma.
That's all I have to say.
I hope wherever they end up has japaneses knotweed, damp, mould and is in fact built in an old indian burial ground.
Bastards

actually they have until 4.30 so 25 mins and counting!!

Hmmm... I would be minded to get your solicitors to indicate that your price drop will be reduced by £100 every minute from 4.25pm onwards... on your behalf.

EXCHANGED!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whooooppppppiiiiiiii punch the air!!

congrats

Wankers but great news wrt schools!!!!!!
