anyone buying or seling now is insane imo True, except for those people: - Who have to move due to work - Have to move due to not being able to pay the mortgage - Who are selling high and buying low - Who are buying repossessions at a knock down price - Who are freeing up capital by downsizing at a good price - Who are selling at a high price in order to invest some capital, rent and hope to buy later once the market dips to its lowest point - Who will be saving money by moving - Who will have a better quality of life after the move - Who are not affected by the media induced housing market crisis NMH |

Could be worse - Your buyer's surveyer could have valued your house 60k less than the agreed price like mine did ! :shock:
Ref gazundering. Just go back with two words - F#ck off ! No negotiation, no nothing. Don't deal with w@nkers like that. Tell your estate agent to put the house back on the market and then wait for them to panic and come back at the existing price. Take control of the situation = Dont be a victim.
NMH Wel said that man. To be honest I wouldn't care what climate we were in I'd tell them to FRO and refuse to sell the house to them. |

If they agreed to your earlier price, is that not a verbal contract?

Its nasty but am not surprised. Lok into finnacing both and renting your old one in the meantime (if you can) Its hard but how much do you wnat your dream home, 5% is a lot but worth it some times.
Good luck fella

Well if they have a mortgage in promise then they can haggle on price.
Think about it.

Think about it. The mortgage being the problem though.Typically you need 10-15% deposit at the moment and apart from on shared ownership you will not get 100% anywhere.If i was buying it would be shared ownership without a shadow of doubt at the moment. |

Thinks better pick up soon-ish or next March when my fixed rate runs out, not only will my mortgage payments be going up by about £100 but I'd be lucky to get a deal anywhere because I'll more than likely be in negative equity :|

Bank of Ireland have opened up their 100% mortgage again haven't they? Not ideal for 1st time buyers because prices are still pretty high to get on the ladder.
Dreadful time to sell, as we're trying to do, but hoping that it'll start to stabilise a bit more now.
