gutted - house falling through... - SV650.org

Arghhhhh!

Everything was going so well too...

Wife is pregnant with our second child so a house move is in order. Found a great 4 bed place and got our current one on the market. Sold it within a few months and have done all the surveys, paid (some) for solictiors and for the searches, etc. Just this morning find out that the buyers of our house left an answerphone message at the estate agent simply saying they weren't buying anymore!

Absoluetly gutted. Baby is due in Jan so the timing was looking perfect - move into new place, get the decorating done and then the new baby arrives. Not looking forward to having to move house with a brand new baby now... if at all...

Anyone want to to buy a house!?

Theres a lot of this going on at the moment. Its got a special word too! Something similar to gazumping.

Vendors are getting cold feet because of the current financial climate. Buyers are coughing up survey fees, etc etc and at the last minute get dropped like yourself, losing a lot of money.

We're over crowded here, big lad is sharing a room with the wee manand we've been pushed into the second bedroom just so theres space for the kids, and my living room looks like a nursery full of toys!
We're taking our time over things that need doing in the house, until theres an improvement on the market to buy bigger, not worth taking the risk.........as well as us being skint

looks like the only people making money out of it are the solicitors and surveyors!

Seems so, but in the same article I read about situations like you find yourself in, I also read that there is to be a clampdown, on estate agents bullying buyers into buying houses, so they get their commissions, wrong descriptions such as 'nice view' when it backs onto an industrial state, 'off road parking' when all it is, is on a street etc.

Sorry about your bad luck, supposes you'll be feeling a little cosy for a while....bit like us!

Seems so...
House is back on the market again so fingers crossed. Think I'd rather move with a young 'un than not at all if we can. Just have to wait and see what happens.
At least I don't have to pay the estate agents fees and stamp duty until after they sell the house. Those were the biggies.
Maybe I can buy anaother bike instead!

good luck - hope it all works out..

when I sold a house years ago the buyer dropped his offer by £1500 with 2 hours to go to exchange..

I told the estate agent tell him &&&**((()) off and waited ... he was trying it on and bought at agreed price anyway .. there are some awful folk out there..

I wish you well very very stressful time and baby too

Things happen for a reason might all work out for the better

aha and from that article I see I was gazundered

I like the scotish system of house buying, if you make an offer and it's accepted, you better buy it or pay for the luxury of not buying it.
Either way the person who is/should have bought the house pays money.
Gazumping dont exist either.

Wish I lived there sometimes for the way things are done in the housing market, rest of the UK has a lot to learn.
