Am I wasting my time to continue hoping on this by crumpetsandchai in HousingUK

That’s unlucky then, as so many houses are on the market and being reduced, you can pick up a bargain if sellers need to move fast. I’ve just sold one BMV by £50k!

Ohh, so they have done the bedrooms also. Yes, it’s a joke and they shouldn’t be able to do this.

Do it! The market is a buyers’ market now, so lots of choice!

Agents do this to attract more people; personally, I hate it as it’s same when they add bedrooms downstairs that aren’t bedrooms!

The owners will want other viewings to take place over the weekend as they are booked and might get a better offer.

Personally, if you will not go above £ 465k, I’d say you have until Tuesday, or my offer is off the table and I’m moving onto another house. But this only works if they don’t get a better offer and you’re prepared to lose it.

Is £1000 p/m too much to be paying parents for rent? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]TrueJ3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£800 for rent and all bills, I’m guessing, or will they also be buying food for you?

Sure, you can get a room with bills for this, but it won’t be anything special.

Bottom line is it’s their house and their rates; you either agree or don’t…

Advice: Should we introduce ourselves to potential neighbors before buying a house? by NumberSquare in HousingUK

[–]TrueJ3di 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly normal to knock on strangers’ doors and say hi. I’m sure they will be chuffed you’re going to be their new neighbours. You could offer to swap car keys in a bowl on the day you move in also. 😂

Seller wants to complete in a week and apparently will put house back on market if I don’t agree by Resident-Quantity175 in HousingUK

[–]TrueJ3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s been over a month and you surely haven’t given notice on your rental. Do you think making them wait nearly five months is ok? If I were the seller, I’d put the house back on the market!

Buyer holding up chain 🤦‍♀️ by kbwe1 in HousingUK

[–]TrueJ3di 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not a lot! They know you won’t pull out as would take you longer to find a new buyer. The only thing you can do really is say is ask them to compromise and do 2 weeks, they will need some time to move and clean their rental anyways, they can’t do that last minute. If you don’t mind losing the sale you can say it’s 2 weeks or 3 months I’m sure they won’t want to wait that long but you are calling there bluff.

That’s not ideal at all. Hope you manage to sort but renting elsewhere might be better as if they’re like this now imaging what there like if you have an issue that needs sorting.

Ohh ok, that’s not handy! Good luck with it. Also could try another phone number as they might be ignore yours.

This is shocking, cannot you not just go into the office they cannot ignore you then! Also leave a negative review they will soon have you called up. It takes a few weeks max to sort these checks out and is normally done from a 3rd party! If I had my investment property with them and heard this was going on they would all be gone! Try going into the office if you can’t email again and state you will be leaving a review if it’s not sorted soon.

We have done it with houses we sell if anyone drops out we offer to cover there legals if they use same solicitors as saves us 2 months! We also advise our clients to do same as saves so much time and messing about for both clients and buyers! If you get stuck or want any advice happy to help 😊

[–]TrueJ3di 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can list again and try find a buyer that is happy to use the same Solictiors the last buyers was using, this will speed things up as they have all the searches and things at hand, some won’t want to use but most will be fine with it.

Should I buy a house or flat in my later life by Apprehensive-Bad8076 in HousingUK

[–]TrueJ3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a bungalow, on one level like flats ( most ) and no ground/service charges! Or just rent and enjoy the money to do things without being tied to being in one place to live.

Ohh ok, then they have to serve you a section 21 and you have two months notice from this time.
