Well after a bottle or three of red with the father in law and a about 20 phone calls (it really was) we have an answer, mind you not from the conveyancer, but the agent he rang the buyer.
Looks like someone has screwed up on the buyers end and he didn't get his funds to paid for my place.
We are hoping for a resettlement date late next week or early the one after.
The place we brought also had to be cancelled. They are happy to wait a week before implementing daily fees, if it goes longer than that and we get fees , well I will be doing the same.
On thing that my agent said is that the buyer is devastated. He was in the middle of loading up a truck when he got the call.
I can now sleep a little better knowing that it been delayed not cancelled...
Apologies if I came across a bit rude @mudski
But this place has really taken me to hell and back several times.
I now just want to be done with it.
All par for the course with house selling unfortunately. When we sold our last place the buyers kept requesting extensions on the settlement date. Our agent kept reassuring us that all was ok, but when they requested a 4th extension we bit the bullet & gave them a deadline. Sign an unconditional contract (previously signed subject to finance) by 3pm Friday or it goes back on the market that day. They didn’t come through (later learned their finance had been shonky & they were never gonna get it) so we did as we said & put it back on the market & found a new solid buyer within 24 hours. Was meant to be. Despite this the system here is still much better than in the UK though, over there it is the norm that purchase is subject to the buyer selling their own place, & the contracts dont get signed until the day the keys are handed over. Consequently you get house buying ‘chains’ of up to 15 people & only needs one person to drop out & all the others are affected. Selling a house & moving is always stressful so best to expect it. A good agent can apparently help a lot, but having sold half a dozen houses I’m yet to discover if there is such a thing!
Maybe its a vid of the chopper his post is about........ night time..... white light...... sound of a helicopter.........
Shoulda gone to tiny Specsavers :-)
All jokes aside, yep it was unfortunately another chopper. It is frightening how many run forward and back overhead on long weekends. Not trying to preach here but my intentions were only to get any late leavers to slow down and think safety first! My neighbour is an Ambo and I've honestly watched his mojo sadly disappearing over the years. My hat definitely goes off to our emergency services people and the emotional trauma they deliberately put themselves through daily, our true heroes!!
