Just come on here in as a slightly annoymous way of sharing my experiences. I'm an adult living at home with my parents, I love the house, road, area we live in, and am very loathe to move. We've had 3 1/2 years of the usual time wasters, no shows, slightly rude people etc bar a 8 mnth gap all with same agent. A tad stressy and disruptive, I wrk from home 2. We had a couple in Jan that we had no feedback on, lady didnt even properly look at things. Rung up 11 Apr with an offer, well offered 3 times reluctantly, could sense was a bit tight and he messed about a bit saying things were final offers etc. Was pretty low but parents accepted.We hrd then his wife wasnt interested, he was quite keen. Mustve changed her mind but she hasnt been back since, he came bk but on his own to ask qs most would ask before an offer, and check things out because it was small, asked about extending and stuff. After his first view he said he might come back with a builder as it only has 4 bedrooms. No idea what his plans are but he hasnt had a survey done or come with a builder. Bit odd given its a mortgage and a bit to risk on our price house, which is getting to the point it will need some wrk done. Anyway had solicitors mail up until 14th, couple of phonecall qs after that, but otherwise been very quiet from sol and EA, apart from mortgage valuation coming back lower, they almost had to pull out over extra money they didnt have, then wouldnt proceed because their Sol had duff info about planning permission we didnt need....fensa cert on order instead and screenshot of entry sent to them. Wouldve thought they carry on with wrk but wouldnt exchange without all the certificates, was also expecting more qs our end etc even if no checks etc were requested. Also our neighbour had to answer a load of complex qs on our residents assoc, only couple of days ago he told me was still getting letters....well that may have stopped tho even if he had them more than a few days before seeing me they are still fairly recent....so pretty surprised to hear sol assistant had rung saying we're hoping to exchange today.....do they ever get it wrong, could it be a sol assistant their end thinking they are ready but theyre not?? Seems pretty quick although about 6 1/2 wks since offer we had no updates and qs resulting from earlier documents. I know some are quick but my sis was 1 in a chain with a new build and got a big wadge of paper to read before signing contract.....we were expecting more.
Anyway house was on market because they saw a house all that time ago. That was out the pic ages ago, but they say theyll rent then look for somewhere. Not much about on either score and as an anxiety sufferer doesnt help. I'm hoping they might pull out last minute but slimmer hopes... I also think if parents had upgraded house gradually starting yrs ago, been here 30, we wouldnt be moving. Im not the only one who thinks our buyer is odd in way he's done things, but we at present have no place to go to, and every instinct tells me my wrk could suffer, and parents just say tough, natural reply when its their choice to move.
