    what attracted you to it in the first place?

    Withdraw from the sale, sell your and go into rented until the right house comes along!

    Don't buy it. Then find a house that you actually like and don't make offers on ones that you don't.

    It was a compromise thing, OH didn't want to move in the first place, I talked him round. First house we offered and got survey on had damp and structural problems so walked away, this one was his 1st choice property so went along with it because he compromised with me re moving.

    I think you may have bigger problems then wanting not to buy a property

    I think you need to talk with your OH before you do anything.

    If you know this isn't the right house then maybe you shouldn't be moving.

    Why do you want to move so badly?
