Going to try putting the flat back on the market

There has been no news at all so I have told the agents that I would like them to remarket the flat. They are going to try and get the buyers to exchange without the other sale but I think the delays are simpy here to stay so I need to protect myself.

I did try and have a bit of a go at the agents for bringing me buyers who do not buy. Doesn't really sound as though they perform many checks on buyers. They asked the buyers IFA to confirm the financial situation and thats about it as far as I can see.

Did not exchange on Friday

The buyers buyer had not sorted out their deposit so nothing happened. There was a suggestion it will happen today but I suspect it will take a couple of days to sort out the deposit.

I am currently planning to put it back on the market with a different estate agent. I may have to suggest that I will charge my buyers an extra couple of grand if they do not exchange in the next two days.

I am planning to change estate agents as I am unhappy that I accepted a buyer on a basis on which they changed their minds at the last moment. I was advised by my agents to stop marketing the property which I also think was an error. I could have had much better buyer and have completed by now.

Turning into a teensy bit of a nightmare

Yet again supposed to be exchanging today. Already they are messing me about. Earlier in the week I was told we would be completing next Friday, now they are saying we will be completing in two weeks. Not sure why it is all as confused as this. Surely three solicitors talking to each othe can manage a simple date agreement.

I have already told the solicitor and estate agent that any requests for me to drop the price will be met with a very definite "No!".

Needless to say I am a jumpy bag of nerves.

Heavens to Betsy! Actual dates at last!

My solicitor has just been in touch to say that they have heard that I should exchange within the next couple of days and complete next Friday.

Hooray!

And there I was about to ask the estate agent to remarket the property. Thank heavens I don't need to do that at least.

No response from the buyers solicitor

We are currently waiting for the buyers solicitor to confirm that ew can exchange and have been since last Wednesday (now it is Monday). They are not returning calls or giving any information. Strangely they did send a fax this morning saying that they will not be exchanging today.

My solicitor is now beginnign to feel that they are hiding something and I am getting increasingly suspicious and nervous. I don't particularly want to start getting heavy but I think I will have to ask the estate agents to re-market the property. I might not have viewings but it may pressurise the buyer into going quicker. I jsut pray that this one doesn't fall through as my contract at work only lasts till the end of the month.
