Hi everyone.
Can I neb in? Been reading for a while and everything was going swimmingly, until now (cue dramatic suspense type music).
Ok, so we've been hunting for a while, we saw this property on RM in march, on at 225k, didn't arrange a viewing but saw it from the outside, was ok.
Then it dropped to 210k 2 months later so we decided to have a wee look inside. Well, you know how the story goes. In love with it. Big 1930s semi, truly south facing garden, cellars yadda yadda yadda.
So we offered a cheeky 190k, knowing they'd say no, but it was a starting point for negotiations. Slept on it for a few days and upped to 196k. They slept on that and in the morning said if you offer 200k we'll stop viewings and it's yours.
So, we ummed, ahhed and dithered, and we finally said yes.
All good so far, EA even said 'done, it's yours'.
The vendors said to us as we are FTB they'll be prepared to move into rented acc if we needed to be in quickly.
We don't, in fact we need to strung it out till end of oct so gather all fees etc, our mortgage advisor said this was extremely easy to do.
Fast forward 3 weeks later and we've received a call from the EA asking if we can be in end of September, a whole month earlier, eeek!
This is the problem. The end of October is the earliest we can do due to paydays etc and we think our vendors vendor is putting pressure on them to be in end of September, obviously needing us to be then, also.
So, we are now worried if we can't agree to it, we'll lose the house, so will our vendors and then the chain breaks...
Any advice as to where we stand with all this?
As I said, we are FTB so any help is much appreciated. The mortgage advisor has already pushed back our survey by a week to help us out, I guess I'm just freaking out now.
It was all going too smoothly.. Humph.
Sorry for the waffle too!
