FTBs aren't always a good thing. From my experience, they can be a nightmare - taking forever, pulling out over piddly things, having mortgages refused, etc. Unfortunately, at the bottom of every chain, you run the risk of there being one
What I'd like is someone who's owned before, but currently renting or staying elsewhere.
My buyer's house is being bought by a relocation company as her (now ex) hubby is moving cos of work. Suits me! Been pretty hassle free (albeit slow).

Sounds like a "perfick" buyer.
And ........ I second your appraisal of the average FTB - they are such skittish little things.......;)0 -
Thanks all, I kinda guessed the answers. Just keen to get it all underway if we find the right house.0
