Gazundered day before exchange

[BenjiCat]

We were all on track to be exchanging this week with completion on for the end of next week. We were waiting on our buyer's searches etc for some time and they finally came through earlier this week.

Call this morning from the estate agent. Buyer has dropped their offer by £15k due to 'immediate issues flagged in the survey' with no details about what these are, no copy of the report and no estimations on how that figure has been calculated. We've said we'd need to see the report to understand the basis for their drop (and to potentially renegotiate... No promises). But they've been reluctant to do this and says they'd be happy to proceed with exchange tomorrow still should we agree to the £15k

Fuming does not cover feelings right now !!

Well done!

Congratulations. Please sprinkle some mud around or something. 😬

Well done !

CF's!!!!

Please don't Hoover

thanks for the update.
I hope you move goes smoothly!
enjoy your new home

Blatant cheeky fuckery. How dreadful that they just had to be paid off like that.
Good news for you though.

Congrats on exchanging. Brilliant news, CF’s of the highest order though, don’t leave them any champagne, take it to drink yourselves! 😂 good luck for moving day tomorrow

Good news. Stressful though at the time - CFs
Hide some prawns somewhere before you go 😉

That's great news, OP. Good luck with the actual move! - I hope it all goes smoothly.

And definitely don't clean before you go

Im confused ...

so another seller paid off your buyer ?

Sounds like it @QueenBee52 - glad you've managed to exchange Op.

Yes, it's not unheard of to keep chains intact. Sometimes a genuine reduction can be spread through the chain to minimise the impact for everyone.

Well done great you stood firm. Hope you enjoy your new home and settle in quickly. As for your purchaser - Kahma it has a way of catching up so they will certainly have it to come for them.

Glad it's gone ahead!!

I hate the fact that they got 5k even if it didn't come out of your pocket. Cheeky feckers. Enjoy your new home 🏡

So relieved for you OP.

TAKE THE PLUGS

@kizkiz @JacquelineCarlyle

thank you... yes I see what you mean now .. 🌸

First Id heard of it 🤣

Glad its sorted OP..

I’m usually pretty decent.

But this sort of rubbish makes my blood boil.

I seriously would be wanting to spill milk in every room. It’ll take days to stink.

Fantastic news! Top of the chain deserves a case of champagne from you all.

Great news OP!

Prawns in the curtain poles now!

Brilliant news. Even better that you now don't have time to clean the fridge and oven!

Chuck some (a lot) prawns under the floorboards, glue down the lightswitches take all the sink plugs with you ... cheeky fuckers

Well done :)

Great news OP. So pleased you didn't part with any cash, slightly annoyed that they got £5k from the chain but I guess you can't control that.
You said your Estate Agents were great - how did they help your situation with the CF?
Don't hoover or clean

Give your neighbours a heads-up that new owners are cheeky!
