OK......I wanna cry & let off steam
I don't do this normally cos it's girlie........but everyone has their breaking point
Sold bungalow [STC] to cash buyers [they wanted my property as an investment].
I informed the buyers I wanted quick sale due to emigrating....and knocked off few grand to make sure went through quickly.
Price was agreed. Just about to sign contract......
and the buyers have got greedy
They've stared asking for more money off cos they know we want to go / want to sell quickly![Mad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Honesty IS NOT the best policy
Have told em to "***** off"..........and have told Agents to "***** off" as well
And anyone know who's side the Agents are supposed to be
on????
I am soooooo mad........I wanna cry.
OK.........that's got that off me chest.......anyone want a fight

Try not to let it get to you too much (easier said than done I know). I believe in fate and things happen for a purpose. Bet you'll end up selling it again and for a lot more dosh.

Poor you, really feel for you. Some people just don't think about anyone but themselves do they? You never know, they may just come back to the bungalow with another offer - just make sure you tell them that the price has just gone up! Don't let it get you down - just think about the life you are going to have very soon and smile!

i've purposfully told my estate agents that i'm not in a rush to sell, even though i am emigrating. I'd love to see someone try and get a few grand knocked off because of it!!
![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
good luck anyway, i hope you find the strength to endure.

Firstly, the agents have their contract with you and not with the purchaser, so they have to work for you and not them, make sure they are not big buddies with your purchasers that meet up down the pub if you get my meaning!!
Secondly, don't back down when do you have to be in Oz (Iam assuming its Oz you are migrating to) by. If its a case of validating plan for a short holiday there just in case you don't sell in time, it certainly won't cost you as much as they are probably wanting knocked of. And
Thirdly, don't give up there will be the right buyer out there who won't muck you about.
Keep smiling

Scutters right Phoenix, you stick to your guns and they'll come back. They're just trying it on. If they dont you'll get someone else soon.
Dont let the b*stards get you down.

There are more sharp practices in buying/selling houses than you can shake a sh***y stick at. A girl at work looking to buy her first place had her offer on a place accepted by the vendors. Then they told her they wanted £3000 more, and she obliged. Then before completion she was told it had been sold to someone else who was paying the same price but was quicker ! - she had been in what the agents called "a contract race"
She was left with the expense of the survey & some legal costs.
I have heard of similar goings on in Oz too so beware both buyers and sellers !

Oh dear, what can I say except that I am really sad for you. What a bunch of creeps - I hate buyers I had a lot of trouble with mine as well so I know how it feels. Just when you think is all ogver the nightmare continues.
Keep your chin up girl. Go and give them what for - you'll see they will soon come grovelling![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Hi Puk2oz
I'm so sorry its all you need !
My last buyers did a similar thing made me drop 7 grand then I noticed after they moved in they had a nice conservatory built!
I wondered then and still do which side were the esate agents on.
I think just hang on in there and see what happens don't give in easily!
