We sold our house in early February to the first person who viewed it - she offered 10k under the asking price and we rejected because it had only been on the market 4 days and we had more viewings booked. She upped her offer to asking price the next day and we accepted. She then came round for another viewing and we were very accommodating - let her spend about 40 minutes looking round, didn't follow her around, made her a cup of tea even! All seemed to be fine until about 6 weeks later we were getting close to exchange and we get a call from the EA saying she's dropped her offer by 10k and if we don't accept she's pulling out! Of course by now we're invested in buying a house we love, which she knows. We were absolutely furious as there was no basis for the price drop, no survey issues etc, just because she felt like it. Anyway purely out of not wanting to lose the house we're buying we agreed to drop by 5k, but not 10. She agreed to this. Then she asked (via her solicitor) us to pay for a boiler service. We said no, because it's a 3 year old boiler and we've just dropped the price by 5k! She persisted with this for about 3 weeks before giving in and saying she'll pay for it and is sending a plumber round. Her solicitor has also pestered a lot about us taking out various indemnity policies for silly reasons (not anything like unauthorised extensions etc!) and the buyer has kept threatening to pull out if we didn't bow down to her demands. We've stood firm and she's given in on them. However we're due to exchange next week and she's insisting on coming back for another visit. I initially said no because she had a lengthy second viewing only in Feb and she's messed us about and blackmailed us into giving her 5k off! However of course she's said she'll pull out if we don't let her so I've agreed to a quick visit this week as long as exchange takes place soon after. I'm pissed off that I have to clean and tidy the whole house now and worried that she's not really sure she's going to go through with it or try get more money off.... apparently her solicitor has advised she must be allowed to come round again before exchange to check we haven't done anything to the house?! I've never heard of this and we're not going to view the one we're buying again. I don't really know how she's got the cheek to insist after her gazundering stunt or why she would want to see me after that?! She knows we are not at all happy about the whole situation.
