Hey all,
To be honest, I'm writing this to vent my frustration about our situation.
Any advice, reality check or anything in-between is welcome.
So, we put an offer on a house in the Midlands in early November.
Standard process has followed.
For example, Instructed soictors, ordered level survey and everything else you'd expect.
No drama was found and we had our mortgage approved more or less overnight.
The chain was wrapped up pretty quickly, around 3 weeks, as the top chain is moving into a new build down south.
Brill, all hunky dory, or so we thought.
But the third sellers are an absolute nightmare.
They, out of the blue, told their solicitor (who is a in-house referral from EA) that they were pregnant and were not moving until the child was born but gave us a date of March 27.
We thought great, least we have a date, and we told our landlord.
That day has been and gone, by a while, and now they have gone on a holiday and are not getting back to anyone.
They claim they are still waiting on enquiries but no one knows what they are...
The worst of all, our landlord now wants us gone.
Is there anything I can do?
I'm worried they are having second thoughts.
Our sellers are also very keen to get this wrapped up.
I just can't believe they can just string this along.
Ta,
A very frustrated FTB.
