Stick it out Shaz, you know 'how the winds are blowing'.
Tell them you'll revisit it in the new year. If it goes, it goes.

I'm not sure what will happen but the wind does seem to blowing in that direction.......

Agree to pay the 5k. Let them go through with buying their next place.

Then drop your offer by 10k... if they've now found a place and are ready to move, having their seller pull out will leave them hanging in the wind.

They'll have no choice but to accept your lower offer.

Gazundering is fun.

Thats an amazing story wow I wish you all the best.

.......maybe if they come back and I'll try the same....the house we were looking at needed a lot of work new windows, bathroom, kitchen, etc, cleaning and desmelling it stinks! :rolleyes:

Hi Shaz. It's slightly different circumstances because the sellers are emigrating and desperate, but still good, although like you and your husband, we don't exactly agree on the house! I would prefer to continue to rent, but family circumstances mean that we need to look again at buying. My wife loves the house - I'm fairly indifferent about it so them reducing the price is making it harder for me to argue against it! Another house we are interested in has come back to us with a £5000 reduction after 24 hours so things are moving in the right direction it seems. Like you we don't have anything to sell - it's nice to see the agents falling over themselves for a change instead of failing to return calls.....

Pay the extra 5K , it will look cheap in 12 months.

Yeah!! Why not chuck in another £10k, and the clothes off your back for good measure.

They say a fool and his money are easily parted. You sound like the kind of person I love doing business with.

I'd start arranging viewings on new properties through the agent, just to start your vendor wondering...

Same here Chriseast.... If I needed any proof that the HPC (or at least stagnation) is upon us it is the fact that two different EAs have rung us this week trying to persuade us to go and see a property! This is after a year of us having to practicaly beg them to do a viewing for us and have them patronise us when we put in offers. Suddenly it is them chasing us! :j :j :j
