Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Be very careful - it can have unforseen repercussions, not just for the girl. Go through health visitor or school rather than the SS. I know of one person who involved the SS professionally and had to move to protect her own family from threats- not trying to scare you off, but please think carefully.Caroline
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When do you hope to be 'off'??
I planted my St Joe on Wednesday - also got a St Jude thrown in for an extra couple of quid!!! Do you say a prayer every day or just when you plant it??!!?? How crazuy do I sound.
So peed off - with Whitegates now - they only advertise about once a month - 6 weeks as 'rely on internet more and werent getting feedback from paper adverts. Thought we were on Rightmove, guess what, no, they are currently in 'negotiations' with Think.co.uk I think she said so I suppose that means we arent advertised with anyone?? So angry - on the Whitegates website it states they use Rightmove. Do you think I could get out of my 12 week contract with this and move to someone else???? No advertising at all apart from the Whitegates website - so cross its untrue - the woman is really nice but obviously full of sh*t

I'm no legal expert, but I would definately try to get out of the contract if you can. I'd ask my solicitor what s/he thinks. It does sound like you were misled.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Thanks for all the good wishes guys, it's been 12 weeks since we accepted the offer, and my nerves are totally shot after waiting so long to get them legally bound to buy.
We fly off 6 weeks today. I wish it was sooner, but we're both teachers so have to work up til the end of term.
Good luck to all of you still on the market.

Fantastic news on the exchange, you're very very nearly there and you know they are tied to completion now, phew!!
We are now on week 9 after accepting a very low offer on the basis that we would exchange after 6 weeks.
They just keep coming up with one excuse after another, we have no chain either so there really is no excuse at all, we are dangerously close to jacking it all in, can't take much more of this
Really pleased for you, enjoy your packing!

I'm sure the next 6 weeks will just fly by for you.
Fingers crossed for you.No news from me here. Apart from EA reckons we should drop the price again.
I can see my dream house slowly slipping through my fingers.
