I am getting so pissed off with my buyer! She is an absolute piss take! She came to viewed my property twice on 6 July and the 10 July, put in an offer on the 11 July which is below the asking price as she told our EA that she's a cash buyer and happy to complete asap! Which is exactly what I wanted! Before I accepted the offer I did double check and asked if she has another property to sell, my EA told me that no, she has nothing to sell and is a cash buyer. So I went ahead and accepted the offer just below the asking price.

It has been almost three weeks now, she still hasn't instruct her solicitor about the sale! My EA contacted her solicitor everyday the last five days and they just keep lying to us and told us that they will contact the buyer this and that but we are not making any progress at all! We still have not received a single piece of document confirming the purchase etc. We got told last week that she needs submit an application form to release the equity on one of her property so that she can use the funds towards the purchase???!!!! I mean, are u f kidding me? I thought u are a cash buyer???!!!

This is the second time we got messed around by these kind of time wasters! Absolutely joke! My bf and I have already put in an offer on a new build back in March and the house has just finished being built. I am so upset that I worried we might lose our dream home (thanks to all these timewasters, I really hope karma will come back to you in tenfold for messing people around)!

I am going to put the property back on the market as I think she's not a genuine buyer! If you are a cash buyer you would have exchanged by now but the fact that she hasn't even got the money in the bank and LiED about being a cash buyer and not keep me up to date about what's going on after three weeks! She can go and f* herself really!

Was defo a soft check with our mortgage broker too. We had one with santander first time round I'm sure. And then second time was Halifax when we were looking to move. Never used nationwide as never heard good things about them so wouldn't know about them x

Ours was with nationwide ( through a broker) and was a hard check.

Ditto DueNov, I've only ever heard bad things about Nationwide as a mortgage provider.

We've been with nationwide for 11 years and they've always been very good but currently moving and had to wait 3 weeks for a telephone "meeting" to find out what they could lend so we went through a broker instead.
