I've just returned from 10 days away from the Elite and am trying to catch up. Having only just joined the Elite thread 3-4 weeks ago I was surprised how twitchy I got about the bargains and glitches I might be missing while I was unable to take part!

Firstly, Happy Birthday to QoC - hope you have a lovely day :bdaycake:

Secondly, so sorry to hear about the difficulties with your exchange TinyShoes. Many years ago (27 to be precise) we were in a similar situation. It turned out that the person buying from us was actually a property developer (our Estate Agents know this but 'forgot' to tell us). This man told us a number of different [STRIKE]lies [/STRIKE] stories about why each time we were due to exchange there had to be a delay. In fact, he had submitted a planning application to the local authority (to turn our Victorian terraced house into 2 flats) and was waiting for the go ahead before he would exchange. Our Estate Agents knew all about this but once again they 'forgot' to tell us and passed on his [STRIKE]lies[/STRIKE] stories instead. At the time, we had no idea that anyone can submit a planning application on a property - you do not have to own the property yourself to do this! :eek:

We were desperate to move quickly as dh had just started a job 80+ miles away and I was pregnant (only 2 months gone at the beginning of the saga but ended up moving when I was 3 weeks off giving birth)! Anyway, to cut a long and angst ridden story short, we didn't find out about this buyer's real plans until he had delayed exchange three times (each time on the day the exchange was supposed to be) and we told the EA to remarket out house.

The best bit was that we got another offer straight away from a couple who were genuine in their promise to exchange and complete as quickly as possible so the sale eventually went ahead smoothly.

If you read the house buying & selling threads on MSE, you will see endless tales of people being mucked around on the day of exchange. It is all so unnecessarily stressful - if the property developer in your chain had been honest with everyone from the start (and probably the EAs too as in my experience they are usually in cahoots with the property developers)then at least you would have known where you stand.

The received wisdom on the House Buying and Selling threads is always that things turn out for the best in the end and, in your case Tiny Shoes, I really hope that is true.

Thirdly - congratulations to SFSB



Wow! What a result! Well done SFSB. Such a shame they've updated the prices now!

Thank you Nenen for sharing your experience. It was her Estate Agent that put her on to the property developer well before she made an offer on mine. She is in bits as thought she was moving closer to her sister this week.

Her solicitor has giving the property developer ultimatum today to complete by Friday otherwise sale off. My Estate Agent asked me if that was ok as he had to report back to her solicitor so I have agreed as it not her fault. But with the proviso by lunchtime Friday as otherwise I will remarket. I really didn't know what else to say.

I've came across this emerging technology a while ago, and have been following its development. Basically, it's a program/app/method (not yet on sale) for speed-reading
http://www.spritzinc.com/
Normal reading speed is 250-ish words per minute; with this it seems easy to increase this to 600wpm.
Try it out, 'click above to learn how to spritz', and increase the wpm speed bit by bit.
I found it fascinating!
