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.

Or maybe reduce by more, it is a fast moving economic crisis that is unfolding and you should have no hesitation in lowering your offer price to take account of that, just think how you would feel if you overpaid AND paid their rent and then mortgage rates shot up or something!anselld said:Wait. Then reduce your offer by £10k to cover your stamp duty costs.An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......1 -
Please do not give them any money. If you do that you are just as responsible for this problem. I would not pull out but also keep looking. I guess you could offer to wait until they find somewhere if they pay your rent until then? I reckon I know their response to that.An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......0
