any way to shield from loud neighbours with outside tv in open hut?

You have made the correct decision.  Do not be bullied into moving somewhere unsuitable.  The Agent is not your friend anyway so who cares what they think of you.

Why did the neighbour fund £4k of roof repairs knowing you cannot afford to pay?  If they knew that was the situation then again do not be pressured by them.   It takes as long as it takes.

it was leaking into her roof, so she had to fix it.. i dont have the money so i put it up for sale,.. she is very pressurising.. she corners me in the hallway and shouts at me.. she thinks im not trying to get a bungalow, when the reality is, i had 6 offers declined in favour of 1st time buyers.  thank you for your reply.. it's such a horrible agency.. the guy who lied to me got sacked.. i did get given someone who was helpful but he jhas now left as his wife has cancer and the onlyt person available is another type like the guy who lied to me.. he is such an aresole

How long before the contract allows you to change agents faerie? There are decent agents out there, and I'm sorry that you have found yourself with one of the not-decent ones!

Have you thought of looking to see whether a Housing Association in your area might have accommodation suitable for your needs? I suggest this because although you wouldn't own your own home, you'd have security of tenure after a qualifying period, repairs wouldn't be your responsibility and there could be additional support available to help you by way of adaptations etc. I'd also see whether your local Council has a specialist Disability team who might be able to help you navigate this all.

You are paying the agency. Remind them of that if you need to.
You are not doing them a favour; they are providing you with a paid service. 
And if the neighbour is shouting at you then walk away from her. You don't have to stand and take it.

It was an entirely good reason to back out of the purchase, the agent should not be commenting on whether it is a valid reason. There are other agents selling properties - whatever you do don't rush into a purchase because others are pressuring you

Good luck OP in your future search OP, you did the right thing

I could change agents but i would lose my buyer, and my chain is down to nothing now because she has gone into rented. .I have to pay £1k if i pull out, which i dont have. . but if she does pull out it would be a relief to  get away from this agent and change agents

thanks Elsein.. i will  remind them of that
