Sorry - I just need to have a bit of a rant..
I have been brewing about the buying of the house we want because it's taking so long. We made the offer in January and here we are in June and we've still heard nothing.
Today I have phoned the solicitor to say that we must exchange by 19th June or we're backing out. I have stalled against doing this because I didn't want to cut off my nose to spite my face, but in the end - enough is enough. The seller is just taking the pi55!!!!
I have also just spoken to the estate agent and it seems my hunch to back out is correct because she has now started buying a different property.
I'm hoping that this will mean that she'll exchange because she doesn't want to lose us, but I fear she'll let us go because quite simply she doesn't want to move.
The story is that it's a divorce case. The husband has already left but she's still in the marital home where she's lived for 20 years. I can't speculate about whether she wants him back, etc, but what I do know is that there's a lot more going on than just a simple moving home scenario and there's obviously a lot of emotions that she's working through.
I feel sorry for the woman, I do, but I need to look out for us and at the moment and every month, our rent is £150 more than our new mortgage - so the longer we're here, the more it's costing us. What a nightmare!
Well, this has told me one thing - we've brought our bad luck with us. I'd hoped that we had left it behind, but no - horrible things are still happening to us - it's NOT FAIR !!
Right, I'm off to browse the internet for houses for sale - just in case ...
