Last week, I was posting on a thread that we had a suggested moving date of the 25th June to get in before the stamp duty cut off. This week, looks like it's all going to crumble! It's so stressful and upsetting. We sold in March and got into a chain of 6. First time buyers on ours and our vendor is fairly straight forward, but it's the three at the top.
No. 6 at the top is looking for somewhere to rent and that's what the chain is depending on if there's a chance it can come together. However, this lady's house has been repossessed as she is bankrupt. This means that she's finding it hard to be accepted to rent somewhere. Meanwhile no. 4 have said they have to have it all done by the 9th July as that's when their mortgage runs out and they can't extend as they've just gone self employed. No. 5 decided to put their house back on the market this weekend as there's uncertainty with no. 4. Not sure what's happened with that. So it's all looking very unstable now unless the lady at no. 6 can find somewhere to rent in time for the 9th July.
If it does all fall through, I think we'll all have to start again because since this began in March, house prices have gone up. So we'd all have to go on the market for maybe £20,000 more.
I'm pleased we didn't get carried away with packing after all but I'm really disappointed in this turn of events. Just that horrible feeling that we might have to start all over again, like snakes and ladders. sad
