    Ok, look elsewhere and make sure to put in low offers.
  • Too desperate, try lowering the price a bit and maybe find another buyer?
    I’m confused by your response! It’s us that are buying from them, we have sold our property so we are now bottom of the chain (I believe there’s 3 properties in the chain now)

    Ok, basically you have no business going to their door or otherwise chasing them up, if they want to sell to you they will do so when they get their finances in order/the chain completes or whatever. This underlines that it isn`t only buyers that can`t proceed when there is market volatility.
