    I've also swapped another of the CC to a 0% deal as the current one was ending. I just have 1 more that i pay interest on but luckily that one also has the lowest balance.

    So sorry to hear this - so unfair. Happened opposite way to me in 2006 - person buying my house pulled out 2 hours before contracts due to be signed - my house contents were in a moving van travelling to my new address - on my own with 2 kids it was horrendous. Anyway 2 days later agents contacted and said buyer wanted back in but for £10k less - you can imagine what I told him especially as it was 3 days before Xmas. I sold it the following month for £2k more as it was already a real bargain. I can't stand unfair people. All the best Mat-Lock.http://static.moneysavingexpert.com/images/forum_smilies/angry-smiley-030.gif

    Thanks Rachie. Seems it's been a blessing in disguise. Sellers pulled out completely on the sale of that flat, with or without our £3k extra.

    We viewed another flat today and it's nicer, warmer, better location and we've had an offer accepted for £1k less than the offer on the original flat. There was a reason why we didn't get that flat and finding this new one was it.

    Fingers crossed this one goes through. Feeling much more positive on this one as the sellers are buying a new build so no chain. They were quick to accept offer and even offered their sofa and table n chairs too.
