Dodgy dealing from repo company?
Comments

They pulled the contract from the EA and have relisted with another EA.
The new asking price is £255K - That's £34K LESS than we were offering.
Do you still think it makes sense silvercar?
So now you are drip feeding information.
Get in touch with the solicitor acting for the lender in repossession and tell them you have made a higher offer and ask what is happening.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I'm not dripfeeding... this is the latest news received today. They pulled the contract on Friday and have relisted today with another EA.
Their solicitor told my solicitor that there are no active offers on the table and that I should make an offer through the agent if I'm interested. It's like we never existed! Don't know whether to go back to the original EA or talk to the new EA or just contact the asset management company directly.0 -
Try to trace the previous owner of the house and let them know how much you offered. The bank has a duty to get as much money as possible, so the previous owner should know how much they are being screwed out of.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

I called my EA, the one selling my house, and told him what was going on. He took it upon himself to call everyone... the selling EA, the seller's solicitor, my solicitor, the asset management company... and find out what can be done.
We exchanged on Friday and move in next Wednesday!

Must seem strange, but yes!
a) There is no way they would let it go for the 'asking price' it was just a starting price. That has already been proven by the last 3 EAs to market the property.
b) Eventual sale price was still £60k to £70k below market value based on sale price of similar properties in the area.
and c) IT'S OURS NOW! Well worth it.
It was just the whole uncertanity of the buying process that was causing the stress.0 -
