So after our vendor pulled out of the sale on Monday, they have now resisted the house for £25K more!!!! I think they wanted to do this to us all along!!! The delay caused by our buyer’s solicitor and lender just gave them the excuse to justify this course of action. It’s so very annoying of them to do it four days from exchange though. I offered full asking price when it was listed so it wasn’t like I tried to cheat them in any way. Needless to say we will not be pursuing purchase of their property at any price!!! Congrats to those of you who have either exchanged or completed!!!! 

Thats a really poopy thing to do !!  

There should be some type of caveat when listing a house that if you pull out to list it for dearer, then you incur a monetary charge for doing it or paying the other persons legal fees.  

Agreed! All we’re left with now is a big conveyancing bill!!!!

Morning all.

Rejoining this thread as I think we are nearing exchange and completion again! My previous posts are in this thread many months ago, but to cut a long story short, we were just about to exchange back in June and on the same day the chain collapsed. The people we are buying off (we are FTBs) asked us to stick with them, which we did whilst they found another place and progressed a new sale. Fast forward to today and another mortgage application completed (the first one expired and barclays would only extend by 2 months, so we got a better rate elsewhere) and I'm hoping today is when we will agree exchange and completion dates!

Good luck to everyone this week

That’s awful 😣! Don’t worry, Karma will well and truly come to bite them at some point in the future…..I’m a strong believer that if someone treats another person badly then that person will receive it back 10 times over….hoping that gives you some comfort at what is a completely s!!!!! time 😢 x

So sorry to hear this @Homebuyer1973. That is truly awful behaviour at the worst timing! 

I’m glad you can see some positivity out of it, looking at your other post, but after all that time and energy and stress it is a horrible thing to happen.

Agreed @WorriedKirkels it will hopefully come back and bite them on the 🍑.

So much of house buying is just waiting for something to happen. It is very frustrating!
