I'm getting quite frustrated to be honest. I made sure to ask our EA weather of not the buyer is ok to wait whilst we find a house, I was told yes no problem, so I then proceed to send all my paperwork to solicitors.
Today my estate agent rang me to tell me the buyers are constantly in the phone trying to hurry us along, then the estate agent was like we'll what you going to do if you havnt found something in two weeks, will you rent. I made it clear that I'm not going to rent prior to the buyer instructing a solicitor, that my buyer if they want my house will have to wait for me to form my part of the chain, they are in a chain and their buyer had to wait for them to find a property, ive said a gazillion times that I'm looking every day and viewing houses actively but I'm not going to buy a house I don't actually want to so they can complete quicker. I said from the off set if this isn't ok then they should pull out and put my house back on the market. I won't be told what to do or how to do it, being demanded at when I've already took a price drop. I want to sell but I'm not desperate too and if it doesn't it really doesn't matter to me as I don't need to sell. I'm getting so wound up with it all. I don't want the sale to fall through but I'm already getting sick of my demanding buyer. They've instructed their seller to go ahead with all their searches etc knowing that I hadn't found a property yet and now want me to hurry on because of this. I've used the same EA 3 times before but this time they seem all in the interstellar of the buyer and not us the seller which I'm finding really annoying as I'm forking out £1600 for their services not the buyer, it's coming out of my pocket so they should have my interests at best.

How long have you been searching?

Your buyer is a bit dim. In their situation, I'd be looking at no-chain properties then purchasing one of those instead if you hadn't found somewhere. No point pushing you. Nobody is going to buy a house they don't want just to hurry things along for their buyer.

I would just report back and ask the buyer if they want the house and are willing to wait, say if so then you will honour the sale to them and keep it off the market. If not then this isn't the house for them and you will put it back on the market
