Threatening to pull out
Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has ever threatened to pull out of buying a house? We are considering pulling out of buying our house as the vendors solicitors are messing us about. Do you think giving them 5 days to sort it all out will make them pull their finger out? :(

How wide is your price range for viewings?
This is a thread out of curiosity really... When viewing houses, how wide is your price range for viewings?
