Buyers pulled out today

[Thefaceofboe]

Our buyers have pulled out today, the day we were due to exchange. My house is in boxes ready to relocate across the country. My child is due to start school in September and we both have jobs lined up. We have spent so much money (more than we have) on this. I’m in total disbelief. Not sure what I want from this thread really

Yay what a result!!! 🙏🥰

Brilliant ! Well done.

I like the sound of the Australian way.

How horrible for you. The English system really needs to change.

That's brilliant that your heroic parents were able to help you - hurrah for them!

Fantastic! 😀

I'm so pleased for you.

May I say how lovely it is to see praise for parents. It's nearly always the opposite on MN!

Depends on the behaviour of the parents, surely! These parents sound lovely.

Many congratulations on getting another offer so quickly @Thefaceofboe

I should have said searches, the survey doesn’t take too long to organised.

I agree with @GasPanic but it’s an unpopular view. It’s not right for buyers or sellers to be locked in until the facts are established and contract terms agreed and that’s what takes a long time in England.

I have pulled out of a purchase after a survey revealed a tonne of non compliant work that would be near impossible and extremely expensive to put right. We lost money on the legal fees and searches up to that point. As if I should have been liable for the dodgy vendor’s costs too!
