It's caused so many uncertainties and stress that would you feel better if you just walked away and wasted no more time, effort or money on these slightly crazy people?

It's tempting, yet we will obvisouly lose upto £1500 in costs incurred and there's nothing on the market we like as much.

We love the house yet I wonder if this is just going to drag on and on when really there's no need for it to.

Speak to sol about indemnity certs for everything that might need one - but only if you're prepared to put up with more heel dragging from these people.

I think at this point I would lower my offer £5k for the inconvenience and happily wave goodbye to them when they walk away.

EDIT: Hard when you've spent money and like the house so much.

Only worry about the important things.

What is the difference between 7 year old windows without a peice of paper and 6 year old windows with a piece of paper, or even 6 year old windows without a piece of paper. It doesn't change the windows.

Concentrate on the fixtures list and leave the solicitor sort out the legals.

I guess it's more the fact that they're lying about things when there's no need to, what else is going to come to light is what I wonder.

I don't understand this - I've started the process of my sale and the day after the sales board went up I sent copies of the guarantee for the double glazing, the electric survey, building regs approval for the loft conversion, corgi cert for the range cooker I am leaving as part of F & F and all the other forms requested by the solicitor . Am I unusual in sorting everything as soon as I can and having the docs to hand (all neatly filed )?

No - I was like that but unfortunately the buyers solicitors hadn't forwarded them on 6 weeks later. You would have thought the buyers would have chased this up:rolleyes: - oh but these were the same buyers who said they had a mortgage in place when I accepted their offer when what they actually meant was they had to apply for a mortgage.

I guess the most annoying thing that after everyone in the chain making a concerted effort to get all paperwork uptodate ready to exchange and our sellers dragging their heels, it's now come to light that there is still lots of paperwork outstanding. I have chasd our solicitors twice a week at least for several weeks now for this paperwork and they in turn have chased, as have the estate agents and yet when the paperwork is finally produced, half it is still outstanding and yet again this is all dragging on.

The sellers trying their luck was just the final straw when i got the form tonight i guess, so annoying.

The windows looked to be in good condition, although yet more lies as the seller said when we viewed that they were installed 3 years ago, so clearly someone is lying and I'm guessing it's not the double glazing company!

thanks for your replies.

If you placed an offer on a house with three year old windows, a legal extension AND white goods and now the goalposts have been moved, gazunder and cite these reasons.

The ex-Mr. Fire Fox was going to buy an empty BTL flat around here back, and I was going to put some money in - he is FTB and I have the benefit of bitter experience. The offer was made in writing, with a list of ten questions about the property that would have made the sale super quick.

The estate agents attitude was, don't bother your solicitor will ask all those questions? :rolleyes: We pulled out four months later with some queries still unanswered due to the other side's solicitor's 'personal problems': I'd have been livid if I was the vendor, we were dream buyers.

I know how you feel. Why to people take these chances in a buyers market eh? We have put an offer in on a house and we gave him exactly the price he wanted but he has been a real pratt ever since. Still completing on our own sale and need to get entry dates to meet but he won't agree an entry date for his until we have sold our house. This is only one of many things we have had to put up with from him. We are now thinking is this going to be the same throughout the purchase and we are now considering other properties. I said to my husband that I would not move into a house under a cloud and I definitely see a storm brewing - time for an ultimatum?
