House buying gets more complicated by the day. Seems the vendors managed to negotiate alower price for their purchase. however, the others potentiall buyers for the house we are after, increased their offer to ?500 less than ours. but they are renting, so no house to sell, so in strong postion. however, they ahve not yet accpeted either offer. Down in part at least to the agents we are dealing with. (The other offer is via another agents, so we have agents as well as buyers competting to get the sale.)
So he is working on them, tryign to convince them off what good buyers we are, how much we love the house (he thinks that they would like buyer who they think will cherish the house and garden liek they have – the hubby esp.) He is going to suggest some possible thing about us gettign survey on the house done first, to show we mean buisness. They lost a sale earlier and they don’t want to lose another one, or I guess they will lose their house, and they have been on the market since last summer at least I think.
I dunno, it’s all getting complicated, i’m torn between trying whatever it takes, and just saying – here it is the offers, take it or leave it. This house purchase ended up as sealed bids, and we hoped toa void such hassles this time – i mean, it’s been on the market months, as soon as we are able to put in an offer some else comes along at the same time …..
Want to concetrate on getting ready for Melrose etc., instead been busy with other thoughts really.
Yuk! All sounds incredibly complicated and not very pleasant!
I really hope that it all works out for you and you are able to get on with moving swiftly!
