Our FTB emailed the EA today to demand a £25k price reduction based on the work highlighted in the homebuyers report which they received 2 months ago.
All non-essential work, obvious to anyone viewing the house.
When they offered, it was at the very bottom of our range and we accepted without negotiation.
We were due to exchange in a couple of weeks.
They know we are moving for financial reasons, that we have a disabled child who I am a ft carer for and two other children.
They know that we either loose our home, or sell up, move area so we can buy out right and live mortgage free.
We said a flat no and unless they let the EA know today if they want to proceed at the agreed price, then we will put the house back on the market.
The money and our circs aside, how can some people feel it's ok to put people under this type of pressure?
We had some good news recently, but both dh and I agree that without it, the possibility of loosing the flat we want to buy and not being able to afford the mortgage on our current house, would have made us feel suicidal.
We'll be ok but it is depressing to know there are people with no integrity, who choose to live in a way which causes catastrophic harm to their fellow human beings.
