Is my vendor about to pull out?!

[YankeeFanatic]

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster.

DP and I had our offer accepted on a house a week ago today after a long process of searching and disappointment that I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with (wishing everyone all the luck in the world if you’re still searching!).

We offered on a house listed as “OIRO £X”. We went just over £15k higher than the base amount listed and nabbed it by apparently a few hundred. We’re very happy.

I’ve just gone back onto RM to get the original add to show a friend and the ad is now reading as OIRO £17k more than originally listed number which is an additional £2k above our accepted offer.

I’m terrified at what this random change means. It’s happened in the last couple of days, possibly today and has happened since our offer was accepted and since the ad was updated once already to show it as “SSTC”.

Is my seller about to pull out and relist? Anyone with EA knowledge or background know why the ad would be changed this late in the listing process?

Any thoughts or advice very welcome!

@Bubbles456 ah that’s really helpful, thanks! very much hoping it’s that too then!

Surveyors look at sold prices not marketing prices. I think they're chancing their hand. Probably think they put it on too cheap,

@Bubbles456

I have recently sold my house for 15k over asking price and my EA did exactly this. It is to try and protect the vendor from having their property downvalued by your mortgage company.

This is total nonsense sorry .

Call them tomorrow , tell them you want it removing from the site or you will pull .

If they are messing around - it's better to know sooner rather than later

Did it get sorted OP? Have you had the memorandum of sale through?
