I know we're desperate but not that desperate, I'm not going to give my house away, especially to her as I know she can afford it

What did you pay for the house when you bought it? I take it it was the same as the potential buyer offered, leaving you with no equity?

An update...the lady wont shift on her offer so we've accepted it £7000 below the asking price :scared: ( plus we've already dropped it by 10k ) we've told her that everything has to be completed within 6 weeks plus the house still remains on the market, omg it all seems so real now, keep everything crossed for me

Thanks Jane
Just told the kids & my youngest who's 9 said that he wanted to stay here for Xmas so he could spend his last Xmas with his Nan & Taid ( must say it made me cry !)

Ah Bless !
Just don't tell your buyer
My youngest is 7 and he is NOT going so Lord knows what it will be like when my time comes

I realise that i shall be going out with little or no money, but i think it will be worth it. So chin up, itll happen eventually. If not consider renting if it is a feasible option for you.
Hi wereabouts in Essex are you? we have had our house on the market since the end of May, sixteen viewings and not a single offer.
