So we have had a nightmare of a house sale/purchase due to issues further down the chain - we are now at the last lap where every query on the earth has been answered, every person and their dog has been asked a question and a date by the solicitors has been put forward - woohoo and agreed by every person in the chain! However…… out twat of a vendor has now decided to say if we are not exchanging contracts by the 31/5 he is putting their house back on the market - this is a full week before completion! Now we and our buyers are ready as we are cash buyers but the other two in the chain are reliant on mortgages and have to deal with all of that! Spoke to him today and although I do agree with what he said as it was the lower part of the chain that’s caused the delays we have no control of them at all so the only people that would suffer is me and my husband if we don’t exchange by the 31/5! Our solicitor said it may go through but she said there is a good chance it might not as she is not privy to their circumstances and can only press the urgency of the exchange! I have made an appointment to view a back up property but I will be honest I feel like telling him to shove it as he has caused me so much stress of this and stuff I can’t control! He knows the 31/5 is my mams first anniversary of her death and I am recovering from surgery but he is still saying I’ve got decisions To make! AIBU to want to bin the house off and save my self the hassle next week incase we don’t exchange??
