    My mother had this the other way round a few years ago - on the eve of exchange, her vendor raised the price substantially.

    Over the course of a couple of days, the price fell to below the original agreement - and still she walked. The house eventually sold for a lot less than the original agreement, and she's now very happy in a much better property...

    The thread about it still makes me chuckle:

    Personally I wouldn't sell to them if they offered 6k over the agreed price.

    Such a shame that there is no law in place to prevent such prickish behaviour like that with regards to property sales.

    I have been to many clothing sales in my life and never had my trousers pulled down at any of them. I suspect you are attending the wrong kind of sales :rotfl:

    No reason
    I just feel sorry to the neighbour because if you can carry off like this imagine what he would be like to live too if there was ever a boundary issue etc

    Tell the Estate Agent they've 24 hours to meet the agreed selling price or you are going to remarket the property.
