I think I'm gonna stay away from this and just look for houses that are not being rented out, not worth the hassle.5

In Aug we had offer accepted on a great property. Our vendors were buying their ‘forever home’ which had sitting tenants. They were assured tenants would move out. Long story short, tenants did not want to move out (as was their right) and our vendors withdrew their house from the market.We wasted more than 3 months, over £1k, and a lot of emotional energy. Rather than lose our sale, we are now in temp accommodation, all furniture etc in storage, until we complete on replacement property.Walk away now! There will be other properties.0
