My second buyer seems to have gone AWOL, an investor who seemed serious about buying, discussing some options intially and then afetr a month of solicitors sending drafts and waiting for theirs, agent strated chasing him. So last week he said he as hugely busy buying other properties, but he will be buying, so we asked to just instruct his solicitors as that's not time consuming, is it?
Well, no reply to any contact for a week and now agent thinks he's gone. They also now found out that he s ben flakey with others.
My 1st buyer also never proceeded, after two months, she just said she couldn't get the finance.
Both sounded confident and the 2d one said 'I'm definitely buying it, no need for alarm' before going AWOL for a week.
THe irony is, I accepted lower offers from both because the've promised a quick sale and there is no chain (I can't afford waiting for many months).
Do they all just lie? Did anyone have positive experiences and if I get yet another offer from an investopr how best to handle it so they don't just feed you fibs?
Agent thinks puttng house back on the market might push him into action - does this work? I'm not looking forward to more viewings, to say the least, looks so bad when house is going back on twice (due to no fault with the house)!
