Well, a bit of an update....
Our buyers were dishonest time wasting pricks. One of them had such a bad credit score they couldn't get a mortgage. We were under pressure from the people we were buying off so we went back on the market. Slow progress so we used another agent as well. Our sellers went back on the market too and they sold on the Saturday. We sold on the Tuesday after. We lost that house. This time we sold to an investor who was happy to wait. We realised the first house wasn't for us after all and that we'd got our priorities all wrong.
We then found a lovely house. We offered on it for all the right reasons - plot, garden, layout. And not for the decor and furniture like the first house. They accepted, we progressed and arranged searches and surveys. Then the day before the surveyor was due out they decided they didn't want to sell anymore and pulled out. Luckily we managed to stop everything straight away and didn't lose money. That was about 6 weeks ago.
We were getting really disheartened as there just wasn't anything we even wanted to go and see. Then easter weekend we lined up 5 houses and found one I fell in love with. We offered. It was accepted. Only our house and theirs in the chain as they are moving to a mobile home. Perfect!
3rd time lucky??
