I’m so anxious and tired of trying to move! We finally found a property and now it’s a waiting game. We made a good, decisive timely offer to the agent, who’s told us the other offer on the table is slightly less £ but they’re chain free. We have a FTB underneath us (they’re organised, patient and flexible on timings). Is it a lost cause for us? We are reasonably proceeded with our own sale but don’t see how we can compete with a chain free buyer 😞 Has this even happened to you? Anything I can do to try improve our position? I’d even do a note through the letterbox unless that’s cringe.
The vendor whose house we want to buy a family with twins and so they’re trying to time getting in to schools in Sept. They asked via the agent if we ‘could be patient’ about their onward purchase, whatever that means.
