Buyers are liars!!!!!!!
Hi All,
After much messing about, our buyer deciding he could not manage to be ready for the exchange of contracts date,(still no date put forward), yet he would still like to complete at the end of June, when he thinks we will have time to move out God only knows.
He rang last week to say he thought that all the fixture and fittings were included in the price :scared: we explained that had he offered near the asking price they would have been but as we dropped the price quite a bit then they were extra.
We heard nothing all week then on Friday the EA rang to say that he had sent a snotty email and was pulling out unless we relented.
My hubby wanted to pull the house off the market, but I can't face people looking around my house anymore.
Anyway the EA dropped their cost a little and the shippers dropped their costs a little so we've lost nothing moneywise but it is not about the money, we really feel that the people buying our house only did this as they know we are emigrating.
I am really upset that they have done this as had they phoned us and tried to negotiate we would have more than likely given them the stuff as they seemed so nice!!

People aren't always what they seem sometimes unfortunately. If I were you I would not go to the bother of cleaning the house before you leave, leave the bins full etc, anything really to inconvenience them.

Hi,
My advice would be DO NOT TELL ANYONE INCLUDING EA THAT YOUR EMIGRATING. We did this and it only came to light days before we moved when everything else had been negotiated. But it was incredibly hard to keep it quiet.
Things like this can really damage your faith in people, but don't let it - they say the best revenge is to go on and have a good life.
Good luck with the rest of your move.
Tracey.

Not that I am a vindicative person but the thought does help relieve pressure. Also just remember they are like ships at night you are going on to better things.
