Miller homes threat!!

AdrianC

You seem to be thinking that the problem is Miller's intransigence. It really isn't. They are already giving you a month of extra time to sort your "details" out and exchange.

Again: what is stopping you from exchanging?

At which point have I suggested this?? The only thing I said was that they allowed me to pay 5000 for extras last week but two days later said the deadline is the end of this month. There was no inference when paying for extras in our meeting there was an issue. Of course I appreciate there was a deadline. I have sent a chase to my chain to find out, I don’t know. I know all mortgage offers, searches and contracts are all in place. I genuinely dont know. This post is looking for some advice and support, nothing more. If you also notice I have not commented on the negative posts about Miller Homes so this isnt me throwing mud at them

So the delay is because your chain is not ready to exchange?

Have you considered sending a registered letter to the address held for the buyer on the memo of sale.

You say you've tried to contact them but sending them something asking them to contact you urgently regarding the sale may prompt them into making contact.

You can then discuss whatever it is they need to supply in order to ease exchange

Adrian, I dont understand why people like you are on this site. You offer no support just pessimistic judgement. Honestly, people like you are the reason people dont talk to others about their problems.

Again quite a harsh comment levelled at someone who has tried to offer advice and is clearly trying to steer you down the correct path with their knowledge.


Its not perhaps what you want to hear but it contains information based upon the facts that have been made available.

Im absolutely not asking for that, if you read my initial post I was looking for people who actually have experience of my process with Miller Homes. I know my position, I know myself personally has been sat waiting for over a month. I am trying to see if there is any Avenue I can persue to try and keep my dream house.

Yes. As has been said several times.It's very simple.
Give your buyers an ultimatum via your EA.

You are focussing on the wrong end, the one that doesn't have the problem.

It's quite possible of course that Miller may effectively give an extension because even if they put it back on the market you may still be able to complete before any prospective new buyer, but at root the problem is your chain, not Miller but you are focussing on Miller. Indeed yiur thread title and everything in yiur post is effectively about alerting Millers behaviour rather than that of your buyer.

Is the OP's buyer the problem? The delay appears to be somewhere further down the chain, and that the OP is merely seeing a communication failure as to the cause.



It's entirely possible that an ultimatum which cannot be met by whoever is causing the delay will see them pull out, which will cause the entire chain to collapse - leaving the OP entirely unable to purchase.


One thing's for sure - Miller will not be the only hacked-off ones in that chain, and you can bet the link that's causing the delay is already feeling the pressure to resolve whatever their problem is.

As far as the OP is concerned, yes. They need to make their problem, their buyers problem. They don't have a contractual relationship with anyone else to make it their problem, let's say their buyers buyer for example.
If the root cause is further down the chain then the pressure needs to go down until it gets to where the issue is amd the only lever they have is via their buyer and the EA is the right person to do it.

I also disagree that anyone else must be feeling the pressure. Why would they ? Unless OP is making waves downwards everyone else may think it's all proceeding in the normal slow way with no urgency.

Who is the OP please?

You are - OP means the Original Poster, the person who started the thread.


Joe's right in that the only person you can lean on is your buyer. But - just as your vendor is leaning on you - I'm sure they're already leaning on their buyer, who's leaning on their buyer, etc etc all the way down to wherever the actual blockage is. And I'm sure they're already trying their hardest to resolve the issue.
