bodycolder - they had all finances in place - they had a house fall through the day before completion as the seller backed out. So their mortgage place had told them to go sort out a new property and it would be fast tracked. Our property was the same value as the other house (well, we accepted that offer anyway) so I am not sure if it was the mortgage which was a problem - which makes a change as that has been behind two of the other fall throughs!
mumblechum - we had sorted all our side out by Thurs and had spoken to the buyers (they were not aware of our issue) and they were happy on Thurs, but changed their mind over the weekend
And yes, it is brutal Ruby, I am sorry that happened to you, I'd be so !!
