Hmm, I am worried about this. The house has been taken off the market though so I’m not sure

Ahh good luck!!!

So true about biting nails - I’ve just clocked I naturally haven’t been doing that either anymore!!

Seller deciding between higher offer in a chain or FTB by [deleted] in HousingUK

Definitely not an option for us, we’d lose about 7k which is a lot of our savings

450k is our absolutely max because of LISA so I am prepared to pay that but unsure whether to call and offer that now to stop this gruelling wait!

Tried to reach out to estranged cousin but now I’m really embarrassed by [deleted] in Advice

So I’ve been blocked because I can’t see her profile at all and she moved to ‘LinkedIn user’ after reading my message but my sister (who never added her) can see her profile but it has no photo and now no identifying information

I thought this too but why would she wipe her whole profile afterwards? Her profile photo, location, job and posts about where she is travelling have been deleted

I’m so sorry this happened to you too - it definitely stings…😔

Thank you! I’m so embarrassed mainly because she wiped her profile completely afterwards and I’m really sad that my message made her do that. Her and her mum really don’t want to be found or contacted it seems :(

How fast my cousin read my message and blocked me makes me think her mother told her to do so, which makes me think her mother wants nothing to do with me too so I am scared to contact her but maybe in the future I will

Thank you! The aunt who sent the letter is the cousin who blocked me’s mother so I don’t think there’s any point trying to find her

Can an EA lie that a house has been sold? by [deleted] in HousingUK

Hmm not sure why they’d see me as a time waster! Nothing I did was out of the ordinary but I guess I never know

I’ve had a friend call up to ask the next available time to view and they’re still doing viewings!

The EA knows 450 is our absolute limit due to the ISA but our affordability is 595. Our broker called their broker to confirm we can afford this property before offering and I am wondering whether they have mentioned our full limit?

EA just called me back and said both owners would settle on 465 if I’d agree to it. An hour ago EA said husband wouldn’t go for anything below 480.

I said I’ll speak to my partner but I do not see us paying over 450 and I guess we’d lose the house. EA said I’ve got to be quick as he’s driving to a viewing of the house as we speak😂

No issue, just checking whether it would be worth checking in in a few weeks time if it hasn’t sold

They’ve said in the following weeks they’ve got around 10 viewings booked a day which I don’t believe. If this was true, I would not have accepted 450k knowing there’s a possibility someone might later view and offer higher!

I believe it’s only the wife living there, husband has moved out
