Brilliant, our buyer decided he didn't want to buy our house :mad: That's what you get for giving friends first choice!

We now have a valuer coming up on Friday, so hopefully she will be giving us good news.

we did that too, we offered first choice to a couple of friends who were really keen, then when it came to the crunch they didnt want it!! so we ended up selling on the open market.

Seems like everybody is putting there house on sale in march! 4 people in work and an other 3 friends are planning too, from looking at other topics on this board it seems people are having trouble selling in the current market, so it won't be helped by giving even more choice to the buyers.
