My buyer just pulled out - can’t stop crying.

Please talk some sense into me about what’s likely to be my options.

This morning confirmation that the people who are selling us our dream home have had offered accepted on a chain free property - ecstatic!

This afternoon a call from my EA to say Mubarak buyer can’t afford my house after all because of something dodgy in his credit file.

To make matters worse I have been vocal about the need to exchange as soon as possible.

Gutted is an understatement- have been so upset, I couldn’t bring myself to call other EA and tell them.

My house back on immediately. I wil lose dream house won’t I?

I'm so sorry to read this. We want to sell but have concerns after having two buyers pull out a few years ago. I wish the conveyancing system would change. The stress of it actually made me ill Sad

But on a brighter note - I often hear wonderful stories about how people go on to find their dream house after a chain falls through. And apparently thinking of it as a business transaction makes it easier.

Op keep on, keeping on! You can do this! I am rooting for you. Good luck Smile

Huge hugs OP. Our buyer pulled out today, for flimsy nonsense reasons. We signed the transfer form last week so were potentially days from exchange. It's totally sickening. I agree that conveyancing laws need to be changed. It's madness

It feels like such a huge loss so take time to cry it out and recover. I hope that things turn around for you very soon x

Thank you LukeCage so much! ‘Dream House’ back on the market today as sellers won’t allow a couple of weeks grace, which I totally understand. Hey ho, if it was meant to be it will x

Going to get back on Moving. Also going to beg our sellers to hold the house off the market until new year. Will see how it goes
