Basically just want sympathy!
name changed in case the vendors are on here 😂
Buying a house with my partner.
Both selling our houses (no mortgage) equal contributions etc. Getting married next year.
For context we both have children with ASD.
My son is more severe and has a full EHCP. Have spent months finding the right school and have found what appears to be the perfect one - starts on the 5th. All good.
due to exchange yesterday - completion date 4th September - this has been going on for months but have finally narrowed it down - yesterday it turns out that the bottom of the change (cash buyer) hasn’t got the funds ready yet (how can that even happen?!) and now the completion date has been moved to the 22nd.
my buyers will pull out if it’s delayed again PLUS we live 2 hours away from the new house.
Estate agents idea is for me and my son to stay in a hotel for the 20 days 🤦🏼♀️
Son will absolutley not cope with 2 moves in 2 weeks and starting a new school, he needs his things around him and the impact to his mental health will mean that he won’t cope at the new school and it will all go to shit!
So I’ve pulled out. Partner is devastated, son is livid ‘why can’t we just go?’ and I’m the bad guy 😭
