its been 8 weeks since we agreed price...

[madeindevon2]

and my vendor threatening to pull out (put hhouse back on market) because things arent progressing as quick as she would like...(im actually ready to exchange but my purchaser being a little slower....
i think its the estate agents putting words in her mouth for a lot of reasons (he seems to have something personal against the people buying my house...)
im ready to exchange but my purchaser isnt yet....
very frustrated and angry with my vendors agent

Cant understand this - your vendor may never get another buyer! Is she on this planet????

i cant either.the agents im dealing with is unbelievable.......as i said. i think its the agent not the vendor herself....i think hes putting words in her mouth.
his attitude may well cost him a sale.....as ive jsut found another house on same road on for less than im paying for this one....
in fact ive just made appointment to see it on saturday!!
i dont really want to start again (pay for survey searches etc again) but cost of those negligible if i get similar house for 25k less....

8 weeks isn't long but you can kind of see her thinking.

Our buyers pulled out right at the very last minute at the end of last year. It was 3 months since we'd accepted their offer so, by the time we remarketed we ended up accepting £25k less.

With a falling market, if a sale looks precarious, the quicker she can remarket the better, especially if you are the kind of buyer who would back out or try and drop the price at the last minute.

i dont want to back out or change the price.
but is she is threatenig to put house back on market then surely its her risk!? it might backfire on her.....
ive spent money on solicitors, surveys etc and i think after 7.5 weeks to threaten pulling out is a bit off....

On the face of it, she is mad and 8 weeks isnt really that long. Maybe she is worried that you have alterior motives and are planning to reduce the offer? Can you contact her directly and explain your position, and that you are still very keen?

I would try and reassure her personally (if you have contact details for her) that you are still very keen and just spell it out that you are part of a chain. She's very unlikely to go through with her threat but could end up just souring the deal (leaving a mess/removing all fittings etc) if she doesn't have her hand held a bit. It could be a long while since she last sold so she may have forgotten what a bloody faff it all is.
