Chain breaking up at last minute. Any suggestions how to repair.

In the current climate a lower price makes a sale more likely and may give the seller the option of having more than one buyer to choose from, meaning that they can bypass someone who may look like they will want more and more money off. People generally resent high property prices now and feel no guilt at sweating more reductions out of sellers, but a lower starting price might encourage someone to exchange at a half decent price.

In the end  the buyer was given an offer did not want it.  so we have lowered the price down and readvertised. The house was advertised at 103k we have lowered it to 99k. and see if we can get sale agreed very quickly, PS it is also in northern ireland.

I would listen to @Crashy_Time ... His predictions would have come true many years ago if it wasn’t for government interventions ...

Hilarious!

I too suggest you listen to Crashy Time if you want to make what would have been a good decision if not for a whole bunch of other stuff.

Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. 

I'd also seriously consider trying to make this sale happen right now. 

The stamp duty holiday will be finishing in March and so it's sales being agreed now that will be potentially sailing close to that wind.  

And Brexit.  That looks like fun for the next few months.  

And Covid.  The summer holiday has well and truly come to a close.  

I don't see much to be optimistic about over the coming months.  

The "stopped clock" analogy is quite funny when people are just trying to outdo each other on a forum, less so if the clock stops just after someone borrows 500k for a Lego Box?
