If it helps you feel any better I found out today my buyers buyer has changed his mind so I no longer have a buyer unless they can find a buyer ASAP. In the mean time the house I was after will probably no longer be available and cant imagine me finding anything else I like. My buyer has another interested party so they must of known for a while after promising to pay search fee's at the end of last week. Prob is this couple dont know whether they can get a mortgage till friday(why it takes this long I dont know). Its really upset me tonight and to top it all off this is the second time since September this has happened. I thought we stood a chance of being in mid Dec, it'll definatly be next year now! Thinking of everyone tonight in a similar position. I think deposit's of at least 2k should be put down on any property when making an offer!!!!Saving needed to emigrate to Oz*September 2015*
£11,860.00 needed = £1,106 in savings

really sorry to hear that icklejulez and porl99. ive been there too, on both sides. taken over a year to sell my place, my first buyers buyer backed out, then the next time my buyer backed out, then i backed out due to a poor survey and owner wouldnt renegotiate (glad about that) , then i backed out due to a road being built behind property, and finally exchanged on an absolultely perfect property. when i did back out it was after 3 weeks though, i think its deplorable to wait right till then end to do it.0
