Either buy the house or walk away. Stop prevaricating!

I think you mean "stop procrastinating!" (putting things off). Prevaricating means lying!

  It could be argued that planned gazundering close to the point of exchange is a form of deception.

Oh please ! Id have fun drafting the indictment for that !! NOT  
Its not deception fgs but its a bit underhand 

  Perhaps you've been watching too much junk TV from over the pond?

Nobody suggested there was anything criminal involved, but leading a seller to believe you are going to pay £x for a property when you really intend to offer £y at a late stage is deceiving them; hence the noun deception.

Lol “ Is a form of deception” you said  
It was you who suggested a criminal element “deception” I was just laughing at what you said! 

Its underhand - NOT deception or intent to deceive

You seem to be restricting the scope of the word 'deception.' It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the law, criminal or otherwise.

So far away from exchange I'd tell you to take a hike and put it back on the market. 

What would you gain by doing that in this economic climate?

I don’t think I have ever agreed with Crashy before but I agree with this. By saying put back on the market cameandgo you make it sound like it currently has a good shot at selling, which over the next few months will not be the case.

I was going to comment on the OP but it’s yet another similar thread by them. Just make a decision without starting hundreds of more threads.

Great stuff, society is obviously becoming more cohesive!

“ If the reduced price means that the LTV changes, then the lender may want to amend their mortgage offer and not lend you as much. ”

Isn’t that a good thing, to pay less for the property and owe less money? 

You would think so, but sometimes belief systems take hold that seem to over-run people`s critical thinking abilities.
