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.

And only for a £3500 uplift.
The first buyer pulled out due to chain issues.
I put this here to give hope to others in the same situation, as it seems many first offers DO fall through. Yippee!!Congratulations.And now the boots on the other foot, you will hopefully appreciate buying from someone who appears to have principles and, having accepted your offer, won't be considering higher ones from anyone else....2 -
Congratulations - it’s such a lovely feeling at the best of times but none more so than in the current housing market.
I’ve just had an offer accepted today too so I really do share your delight!1 -
Thanks twoLou for your generous comment - yes, my feelings exactly.
It is indeed a big relief!!0 -
pOOHsticks - I don't know if she does or not. I also wrote to her when the agent refused to pass on my increased offer to say how much I loved the house - all totally acceptable. So I only have the agent's word for the 'chain issues' story.0
