    i am so pleased that it's working out for you. everything happens for a reason and all the trouble you've had was to hold you off buying that house so that you would get the new house. congratulations to all in the ww household

    Just wanted to add my congrats -- it seems like the heartache and stiff upper lip has been rewarded by an excellent outcome for you!

    Congratulations WW on getting an agreement, and great about the alternative house.

    Now you just have to get the settlement signed off, exchange contracts (or was that complete) on the new place and collect the money - do you know if they have the means to pay it?

    Good luck.

    Just reiterating what others have said - have checked this regularly then of course didn't yesterday and look what happened!

    WW, you have handled this with the utmost dignity (despite what you may have been like behind closed doors). Congratulations on a well-deserved outcome and thanks for sharing your story.

    Wishing you many happy years in your new home!:T

  • Well done and Congratulations from me as well.

    Any idea why they decided not to complete? Or was it just a expensive whim on their part?
