PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

This ^^Either offer a concrete date of their choice or get it back on the market.
It does sound like they have run out of patience and your promise of January cannot be taken seriously.
You told them in November it would be early December and then this is pushed back to January. It kind of reads that you offered December out of hope rather than anything else.
You also said you could move in with friends/family - doesn't appear like you have much intention to do so, otherwise why not move to accommodate their preferred dates?
If I were your buyers I'd be getting *really* impatient by this point and ask for a reduction too, they're probably wanting you to cover their rent whilst they wait for you to stop dillydallying.
I like cooking with wine......sometimes I even put it in the food!1 -

Best not to annoy them too much in that case, they might stick with the cheap deal?purt said:
