Seems it's best not to tell anyone that you are selling because you are migrating.
Especially the Estate agents

Hope it works out OK

Best wishes

I still have nighmares every time someone mentions selling houses from the UK. Infact it will be a while before I am allowed out of the straightjacket completely
It also reminds me of another reason why I wouldn't want to go back to the UK right now, I swore that I wouldn't after the trauma.
We have bought a business and now land and home and haven't exactly breezed through it all, but definately not had the stress that we had in the UK.
It really is time that things changed there, and once someone has made an offer they should be held to it with penalties if they change their minds, as they do here.

Hope you luck changes in the morning.

I was so sorry to read your 'news' mate, what a bummer to say the least, what i would say is hang in there till the end of the week, don't forget they will lose money if they pull out, as they have still paid for searches, sols fees, survey etc. so call there bluff! By the way the agents 'should' be working for there vendor!
Hope that you get it sorted hunny

Really feel for you PUK.
This sort of thing really pisses me off.
Can imagine them smurking thinking they got you over a barrel.
Stick to your guns.
Maybe try one of these:-

Hi Jimbo
Queensland set up a system so that shouldn't happen here.
When you make an offer for a house, the first thing you do is sign a contract. Only then will the offer go to the seller, and if the seller says yes, then its just about a "done deal", with penalties if you wish to get out of it

Hey
Everyone knows (especially now) that the estate agents are on the side of whoever can get them the commission for their new car/ home/holiday first.

I had one estate agent who threatened to offer one set of buyers details of two similar houses that were coming on to the market if I didn't agree to their offer. (All because the house had been on for 10 weeks).

I had another estate agent phone up whilst on with a different one, to tell me his sales director was looking to buy specifically in my street (yeah, right!), but that it would look bad if he bought from another agent......and that I should sign up with them so that the sale could go through .........duh, do they think we are all stupid.

In the end I sold it for the price I was happy with. After all remember ITS YOUR EQUITY!

PUK, I agree with some of the others, dont give in to them! Call their bluff, if they come back good, if not then be thankful cos they could try it once & then once they got you to drop the price they could try it again! The system in the UK is so :scared: it makes me . And so many people seem to take advantage of it & try to screw you over .

Just on another note, what exactly does a snotty flat-fished face tutu wearing panda look like?

Hi Guys.......thanks ever so much for your fantastic words of wisdom.....I REALLY needed the morale support yesterday.

If ever I had a breaking point.......yesterday was it

HOWEVER...........today I'm back.....

I've risen from the bloody ashes again [soz peeps I'm sh*t at the funnies so just humour me will ya ]

Anyway: Update. I have done some investigations into the house sale......and without saying too much / incriminating anyone.......it seems I may have uncovered a major scam!!!

It involves an Estate Agent & a Property buyer / developer [work that out] :scared:

This is not sour grapes.....not my style.......can't be arsed.

I have provided the evidence to a third party to deal with and hopefully these effin "sharks" get it smack bang in the goolies

So........to answer you guys who were kindly optomistic......the deal is definatley off. It looks like it was a business deal not a private deal so not quite straightfwd

Thanks for the flowers Debsy [XX]

I'll be back on the frivoulous show......CU all there 2nite

As for being a snotty flat-fished face tutu wearing panda......well I'm now back to beautiful Phoenixuk2oz again [I wish]

Thanks again everyone.....you're a great bunch XXX
