Sounds like they didn't have a clue how house buying worked, the bloke didn't have 3-months of payslips (not sure if he's only just started a new job or something) and then the money they were being gifted by their parents is stuck in India and they can't get it over here (again not that believable as there's multiple ways to transfer money across the globe).
So ours in back on the market, the one I had an offer accepted on the couple are separating. The bloke living in there was willing to give me a couple of weeks grace to find a new buyer for ours but the woman who's moved out refused and demanded it to go back on the market straight away. So it's not relisted but my offer is still listed as sale agreed incase ours sells quickly.
Part of me wants to drop the listing price another £5K and take the hit if it means it's more desirable for selling, but my ex doesn't want to as it'll impact what she can afford house-wise. Might wait until the weekend and if we have no new interest, drop the price and I'll take the hit on my side of the money just to get everything moving again.
They say moving-house is the most stressful thing ever, completely agree, just want this house shot, want to move, have this divorce finalized and start my life again.
Still not moved.
We had a new buyer offer the same week we relisted for the full amount and my house was still on the market.
It's just a drag with solicitors and everything now, think we're towards the end and hoping to move Early/Mid-Nov but trying to get any info from the solicitors in regards to estimated completion is like banging your head against a brick wall.
I've signed the Transfer Documents and Contract papers for my new house today and sent them to solicitor, hoping that means we're near the end and almost ready to exchange but there's still queries needing answered by the seller's solicitors.
Now the buyers solicitors of mine are asking if we'll do a full electric test on the house which isn't cheap. I've said it'll be cost dependent, now we're waiting to hear if it's a demand or not from the buyers.
Ex-wife's house fell through and she's now offered on somewhere else, but has accepted it won't be tied up in this chain so she's moving into rented accomodation when we complete to allow this chain (only 3 buyers, My New House < Our House < Our house buyers house) so should be relatively painless when it actually comes to the move.
