We told them when we couldn't do it (owing to work commitments) and gave them loads of other times when we could, but no one from either end seemed happy -- particularly those we were buying from -- and everyone seemed to be looking to us to compromise or give in. As that had been the attitude throughout the entire process we decided we were fed up as being treated by both sides as if what we wanted mattered least and just stuck to our position. Honestly, I don't understand people who mess you about. You start to feel as if someone's playing a game with you and were never actually bothered about buying or selling. Whichever decision you make I hope it all works out for you soon.S.M.Bidwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055251481895043845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21870845.post-79946159936708653102010-09-05T16:11:17.127+00:002010-09-05T16:11:17.127+00:00Hi Anne, so sorry to hear about the house stress -...Hi Anne, so sorry to hear about the house stress - it seems to me that they might be thinking that whatever they do about the dates won't put you off as you really want it as you are already living there; so you're absolutely doing the right thing in being firm. The fact that they are phoning as well as emailing seems to suggest that they might now be panicking that they could lose you as buyers. They would be absolutely mad to do that and lose what should be a straight forward and friendly transaction and having to start the whole long winded process with someone else who'll probably have a chain behind them!!! I strongly suspect you will get the dates you want and I really hope I'm right. <br /><br />When you've got through all this, ask me about my parents recent house buyer experience (it all came good in the end but tried mum and dad's patience to the limit!). <br /><br />Sue<br />XXXLover of Books, Films and Good Coffee Shops Everywhere!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17498193066349660517noreply@blogger.com
