    We moved up north (from Essex) three years ago, but hated it, so decided to move back. Hubby got a new job which began in october so when we went house hunting (late August) we were on the look out for a quick move. Found this oine house, and the woman who was selling it promised us she was chain free, and that she would move in with her partner so that we could move in to the house, but guess what? she lied. We were all ready to exchange and complete on 31 October, but she refused, it later materialised that not only was she in a chain, (2 more ahead of her) but her "partner" was also tying in his own sale!!!!

    I was so angry, it meant that my hubby would have to go into rented as his new job was just about to start, to cut along story short, in the end I withdrew our offer, the lying woman had lied to us and kept us at her beck and call for too long.

    We ended up putting an offer in on a bigger, better house in a much nicer area, and most importantly, was empty and being sold without a chain!

    Now we are waiting to exchange and complete, at the moment we are living in Essex (where we want to be) and staying with my Mum, hope to move in Jan 2007.

    The only piece of advice I can offer is, never take the sellers word for anything!


    Good luck and welcome to the thread though i really think we should change the name as its the race to be in for january lol - we 2 are waiting to complete january
