House purchase fallen through..

[Lyndsey500]

Hi my first message here and it's 1 of desperation!
Has anyone else split with a partner who have a joint mortgage and wanting to sell so both can move on, only to find a place, have the searches done, and be told today that the buyers of your house have pulled out? I am absolutely gutted, not just for me but for my girls too.
It also means that I now have to go back and re-communicate with my ex...what an absolute nightmare! I just need some positivity please

Lyndsey500 I'm so sorry - I can absolutely imagine how you must feel. So upsetting and frustrating that your buyers have pulled out - what reason did they give? I would get it back on the market as soon as possible, presumably your ex will be amenable to this as he agreed to market the house in the first place. Many years ago I was in your situation, and it dragged painfully on, but it all came right in the end and the house was sold. Give it more time, you will get there in the end. So very sorry, poor you.

I'm so sorry OP. I wept on the shoulder of the estate agent when that happened to me.
With hindsight I'd say things happen for a reason and you'll get better buyers and find a better place or get the one you want cheaper or something, but for now I'll just say it sucks and send you virtual flowers.

@DaphneduM @ODFOx Hello, thank you sooo much for your words of kindness! We certainly need more of you in the world! As my good friend told me this evening, I don't realise what I have. Good friends and family, food on the table, a roof over mine and my girls heads, a great job...I really am lucky and this is just a blip!
I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, it does seem a awfully long way off though. I'm glad to hear that you have both gotten over your little 'blips!' Thank you again for your love and kindness x Oh the reason, they are building new homes in the next village...3 miles away!

Dear Lyndsey500 - I'm so glad to hear that you have all those good things in your life. Your buyers are so shortsighted - I would much rather have a really good 'secondhand' house over a new one any day. Another buyer will come along for you, despite all the doom and gloom spread by the media, there is a shortage of decent houses out there and you will sell yours. Then you will be able to relax and enjoy your life with your girls. As you say 'a blip' which you obviously have the right attitude as a strong woman to get over. Big hugs and flowers to you.

Good morning @DaphneduM Thank you for your message. I feel so much better after a hot bath and early night! I am very lucky indeed and I need to remember that. So the house has gone back on the market and the agent is optimistic there is a buyer out there, somewhere! I definitely prefer an older property, mine is over 200 years old and lovely but damn hard to keep it warm in the winter..haha
