Isn't this now an extra 2.5k, bringing the total new discount to 22.5k?

If it does all actually go through, what are you leaving her as a housewarming present?

My thoughts exactly!

Like some of you have mentioned, she just seems to be the kind of person who will mess you about no matter what. She told the agent 'I'm the victim here' ?!?! !!!!!! (as my son would say!) This is all her own doing.

Anyway, I could rant on forever. Thanks for all your support on here, and hope none of you have to go through this nonsense.:)

I'll let you know if it ever does get to exchange...I'll be surprised..

i would get it back on the market first thing tomorrow and say nothing more to the buyer, if she comes up trumps then alls good otherwise take some joy in the fact she's done a load of money.

i think she's the type who will just string you on and on then let you down, then blame everyone else except for herself...

I pulled out of the sale of my place, just a few days before completion with very similar circumstances to the OP. When the buyer tried for 11k off for new central heating (£3000 in the local paper) thought b0ll0cks to it and ended the sale that day.

On the positive side, took her new tenants on who I showed round just a week or so before the agreed completion date - my solicitor thought it was hilarious

And.. they're still there

Bonus!



Good luck, hope you get what you want with no more messing around!

This is not the same.

You would get nowhere as a buyer saying well actually someone has told me that the item I bought from you is not worth now what I paid for it despite it being as described and nothing wrong with it.If everyone were to do that Ebay would soon cease to exist.

But going to paypal and saying item not as describe will normally get you a refund at the very least and so sellers will often give something back. Pretty much the same, it's 'I've changed my price and deal is off or you reduce the price'. The seller then has the risk and cost of re-listing and possibly getting less for the item - same as house sale where you may not achieve the price being offered. Reason for reduction is pretty irrelevant, still gazundering.

dippenhall I really hope your buyer sees sense, and quits her faffing....you have to wonder what people are on sometimes! If she's gone down from £20k to £2.5k in a relatively short time, she'll fold at nothing too. Hold you ground. All the best, and let us know how you get on

Stressful!

I hate house selling. I can't believe your buyer is going through all of this for 2.5k (maybe less tomorrow?).

My solicitor once called the wife of a couple buying one of the houses I sold "The buyer from hell", but she was a saint compared to yours.

My house sale with "the buyer from hell" completed and I think yours might too. The way I got through my bad sale, was to think that whatever way the sale went, I would soon be rid of her.

So we waited, a fax then appears at our solicitors saying she will agree to exchange today for 345K (5K off the agreed price), irritating, but we set about getting in contact with others up the chain to see if we could spread the drop £1000 each or similar. Whilst this is going on and before we even have time to get back to her another fax arrives within half an hour later saying she will accept 2.5K off! We can hardly keep up with all this!

ahem... so it nearly worked. She scared you with the £20K move, then you were relieved it was "only" £5K, and now "only" 2.5K.

I particularly liked "she will accept 2.5K off". Now she's accepting your offers

Except of course that there’s a lot more at risk than dinky toys, and actually, on reflection, that’s an insult to six-year olds…

It is indeed. My 5 year old son and his friends can't be bothered to argue over a toy for more than 30 seconds (-:

Yes but the point being is there is nothing wrong with the house, she just wants it cheaper, so if you went to paypal and said I have just won this in the auction and now my friend has told me I can get one of these round the corner for less they would laugh their socks off at you.This women has never said she wants a reduction because for example, the house has damp etc she has said she has been told it is not worth that much money.
