Can I be cheeky and invoice them back??...

The survey is a check that you choose to do and has nothing whatsoever to do with the sellers.
House prices go up and down, and offers can be withdrawn/revised if either party wishes.
That's house buying for you.

Personally, Id play it the other way, and tell them youve thought about it and you are willing to pay an additional 15k get them to accept it. Lay it on thick- you cant bear to walk away from your dream house etc.

Then string them along for as long as you can stand, then pull out cos you found something a lot nicer for a lot less

God thats cruel. 2 wrongs dont make a right. Or do they,

oooh I like this.... probably shouldnt but I do!

I agree you can get a lot more for around £208 in Abingdon and surrounding areas....(FYI if you can bear it a friend of mine has just bought a brand new 4 bed detached in a nice part (yes there are some) of Swindon for £195 !!!)

do you need to be in Abingdon? how about grove, wantage, didcot!, Faringdon, try widening your search by 5 miles on rightmove and leave the idiots to it.... I wouldn't have offered £208 on that place leave them to let it sit on the market for another year...

Thanks for all the replies!!....
We prefer to be in abingdon as have a little one in school here!..and also because our close friends are located here or oxford, so we feel most comfortable in staying in abingdon! Though we did do our research in to swindon at one time! The price differences are quite depressing!! You get so much more for your money in other places! SIGH!!

I'm also hacked off because it's not even the sellers had a higher offer from someone else?! They just suddenly decided they want more money!! On the basis they think house prices have gone up??...and they think it's now worth more?? Not £2k more, or £5k more- but pretty much asking price!!!

I hope they get less than what we offered on it!!! (Muaahaha! Dr Evil Style!)...and no way are going back to dealing with them if they came back to us!!! There are better houses and nicer/fairer sellers out there!!!...SOMEWHERE!!! heehee!!
