Had a house up for sale for a year. Dropped the price substantially and finally got an offer from a first time buyer in July. The house is vacant, so should've been a speedy transaction.
They had a survey done and got their mortgage sorted, my solicitor sent the contract two weeks ago, which I signed. The buyers then decided they wanted to take a builder round as a few things had come up on the survey.
Emailed the agent today to be told that the buyer has instructed his solicitor to write to our solicitor to ask for £20k to be taken off the agreed price to cover the work that needs doing!
I have emailed back to the agent to tell him I am not dropping the price as we have already reduced the price by £90k over the year. If we accept this new offer we can't afford the house we are trying to buy.
Bunch of bastards.
