    I've begun to read threads elsewhere in which people are angry at now getting offers from the open-market at a thumping discount to offers they'd refused from National Homebuyers a few months previously.

    Angry with themselves?

    See the full-stop on my last post. :p Although you'd need to read the rest of the thread too for the full picture.

    That house the link was referring to (£400k) still not even SSTC. Still for sale at £340k, which is where that poster discounted it to after the offer she was writing about.

    opps meant 76,500k . BUT if fell through the day before completion !! , i just got a phone call saying it was not going to happen . , then i had a letter from national homebuyers offering me more 86K, i i have sent off the paper work. im sitting in my rented house and mine is standing empty, as i moved when the first offer came in , I have not paid my morgage or secured loans as i need the money for this house. so im so hoping this offer will not fall through, or the bank will reposses, but then mabey i could go bankrupt?
