Buyer Threatening To Pull Out :(
Comments

So as the title says, my buyer is threatening to pull out if he doesn't have a completion date by Friday. He's been unreasonable from the start really, and wanted to be in after less than 5 weeks even though he knows we are buying another house!
It's been 9 weeks now and the people we are buying off having finally submitted all their paperwork etc.
I'm still awaiting my mortgage decision and have been waiting weeks, so can't really give him what he wants. I've done everything the mortgage company have requested of me, and yet I'm still waiting.
Has anyone else had an experience like this? I don't know whether the buyer is bluffing or whether I'm just going to have to give up buying and just rent. I can't afford to rent and carry on with the purchase
I dont blame your buyer.0
