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.

    Not sure why everyone needs to go on about how much furniture etc should matter or would matter to them.

    The point is really what your loss is vs if the lawyer had done everything right. 

    There's 3 offers: 
    a) Offer of £X for house + furniture - rejected
    b) Offer of £X + 11k for house only - seller accepted
    c) Offer of £X + 11k for house + furniture - is what thought you offered, but never made it to seller. 

    So seller is happy with (b), you're happy with (c). In between there, is what could be agreed as a final sale. Due to the lawyer's error, offer (c) never made it to the seller, but if it did, the seller may still not have accepted. In which case you're in the same position you were in June, albeit 6 weeks later.
