I offered above the asking price on a house, and was delighted to be accepted. While I have been rounding up the documents requested by the agent over the last day and a half, the agent rang to tell me the vendor has got fed up waiting and has gone with a different buyer. Neither the agent or the vendor told me that time was of the utmost urgency to get the documents across to them, and really, a day and half! I do have to do some work for my employer! At the end of the second day I now have the documents so I'm going to send them anyway - can't do any harm, can it? Any other advice?
