Hi, more of a rant than anything really. So accepted an offer on my one bedroom house, she originally offered £70,000, i said no and she came back with £80. I agreed because I wanted a quick sale because my mental health is suffering being here as it is far away from anyone i know and i dont drive.

Found a house near my brother and everything has gone fine with that sale, got the contracts ready I was just waiting to hear from my buyer only to find out today that because of some high damp readings she will only continue if it is lowered to £70,000. Now she had this survey at the beginning of september so i'm not sure why it has taken this long to raise this issue and theres no actual damp on the inside just high damp readings on one of those meters. I feel like this was her plan all along and she never intended to pay £80,000.

My options are : 1) bow to her low offer (dont really want to because honestly its annoyed me and if i dont know what else shell demand). 2) Re-list the house : i'm definately not doing that its too stressful i feel like i wont make it through all that again, i'll also probably lose my house that i want to buy. 3) sell to a cah buying company: at the start of this i got a quote from one for £65,000 so a lot less money but a quick sale although i have heard negative things. 4) just end my life: honestly bit dramatic but ive been on the edge now for the past few months.

Anyway sorry for the rant i have nobody to talk to.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way - selling a house can be so stressful.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Wishing you a speedy sale and the very best,
MNHQ💐
