Faced
a stressful week of estate agent trauma.
So this is what we were told when we
submitted our offer: The sellers want a quick sale. The sellers are not in a
chain. The sellers will move in with their son to ensure a quick move. The
sellers are not planning to use your deposit money to buy on a brand new house
in Ireland against the strong advice of your solicitor. Hmmm.
Actual truth: The sellers are in a chain, the sellers do not want to move until March, the sellers do not want to live with their son, the sellers would like to take our deposit and start buying things with it. Hmmm indeed.
A
few taut days and a couple of polite phonecall arguments later and finally our
solicitor worked his magic and we exchanged.
We owned a house. Well, nearly.
Oh,
and the reason, they didn’t want to move in February. It’s a very superstitious month
for them.
