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! :(

Nasty thing to do is unplug the fridge and leave the door shut after you make sure it is warm.... If it is intergrated it is a bitch to pull it out and plug it back in and it will smell funny for a couple of days. They can't come back to you after they have bought the house.

It depends on the contract and what is specified. Some people deliberately leave out certain stuff but are open to negotiating on it at an additional cost.

NarkedRaspberry · 29/08/2012 19:47

I googled. Pretty kitchens.

I don't know whether to be shocked at the mantelpiece theft or somewhat in awe of the sheer cheek of them. That's really going above and beyond.

Fabulous idea :)

yawningbear · 29/08/2012 20:23

Congratulations plim, very happy for you, and your dh's idea is splendid. Hope the rest of the move goes really, really smoothly, it will surely be a breeze after this.

CondoleezzaRiceKrispies · 29/08/2012 20:53

Yes yes yes! Do the print out thing!!

whattodoo · 29/08/2012 21:00

Fuckung hell, I don't believe it!

Def do the cunt crocuses.

bumbez · 29/08/2012 21:21

Really pleased for you :)

openerofjars · 29/08/2012 21:47

And don't forget to keep a printout for yourself, to look back on as you push more pins into a voodoo doll which may or may not resemble your buyer!

Congratulations and phew.

Also sign them up for many, many really embarrassing catalogues and do not untick the boxes so that they get evil junk mail from a myriad of sources.

Devora · 29/08/2012 22:02

So pleased for you, plim. And I REALLY like your dh's style Grin

TheWonderfulFanny · 29/08/2012 22:17

Congratulations plim :-)

And fwiw I love puffin's idea about setting up a ghost...

VivaLeBeaver · 29/08/2012 22:18

Plim, I can send you some fleas in the post if you like? Infest the house just before moving!

FaintingGoat · 29/08/2012 22:27

Congratulations Plim! So pleased it's finally done.

My vote's for the crocuses. The printout is a great idea too, they'll have all the floorboards up looking for mice and prawns, and they'll be watching the lawn like hawks come spring, squinting at all the plants to see if they spell anything!
