Presumably this was another exchange and complete on the same day situation?
No. He phoned and said he couldn't raise the funds on the day. I ended up agreeing to a 5k reduction. As I said I had no choice. Also I didn't use an estate agent, so he, or rather his wife, had been dealing direct with me.It was a nightmare and a lesson learned. I didn't realise what a nasty piece of work he was until I heard about him being attacked with acid.
We don't exchange Christmas cards.

You canvassed opinion and you’ve had it. Your responses beyond that come across as a petulant child. You are of course free to conduct yourself as you see fit (and to maximise your own financial position), but personally I’d fall on your sword insofar as the responses on here are concerned.
I'm not sure you quite understand what "petulant" means, but that's fine.I asked for input from people who had done similarly. I got an anonymous pile-on from a bunch of unhappy PHers who had zero relevent experience.
I've not argued the toss of people's opinions, particularly those with actually valid input, in spite of nobody agreeing with me.
If that makes me "petulant", then I need to relearn the definition.
You want to keep swimming against the tide feel free. I’ll wish you all the best for your move and drop out here.
Well my onward purchase fell apart on Friday sadly went from great on Monday to trying to juggle jelly by Wednesday to complete couldn’t make it up almost comedy by Friday.
Found a LR issue with my property in that half of my garden is actually unregistered land, have to make an adverse possession likely to take 8 weeks at least. Developer said they wouldn’t wait that long, re advertised and accepted a cash buyer about an hour later.
4 other properties available in the area we are looking at none suitable
1 other new build perfect for us but likely they won’t wait due to the LR issue we have.
My daughter is going to have a hell of a commute from central London to her new 6th form in Essex come September ! The new house was in the grounds of her school 🤣🤣
On a positive note, my buyer seems to be sound, he needs to be out of his rental soon and wants to rent my property before it becomes his so at least I may get a few quid to cover some furniture storage costs.

The boundary has never been changed or moved in over 150 years and I also questioned how this had never been picked up on previous conveyances on mine and the neighboring property. The response from everybody else involved was a shrug of the shoulders.
Currently on hold to LR as I type this to chivvy them along, it's like pulling teeth. Hoping my chain are patient enough to hold out..

Some solicitors are better than others. I have seen exactly this sort of thing happen. Person 1 buys a house with a rubbish solicitor and they don't notice multiple issues. New buyer comes along with a competent conveyancer and a whole host of trouble is uncovered.beanoir78 said:

We inherited the property, so issue we were not aware of, ours has been like this since 1959, the bottom half of the garden just doesn’t belong to anyone !

Despite all of the other properties that were once part of the larger plot that was divided having the correct title and boundary for some reason the bottom half of our garden became “lost” in 1977 and the LR have classed it as unregistered from 1977 onwards, despite the fact that the historic records show what has happened someone has uploaded an old document and stamped it as 1995 the last time it was sold, the LR just don’t want to know and we have to make an adverse possession and have an inspector come out by the sounds of it also.
It’s a bit of a pain really as the operator on the phone said it’s pretty obvious that it’s an admin error somewhere, they just don’t have any records so we have to go through all of the red tape and hassle.

Have a similar issue with house im buying. Its 10 months since the seller started with LR to sort it. Its always 6-8 weeks. It remains uncompleted. Nothing is in dispute. LR are un utter waste of time.
Had 16 viewings for my place booked in over the weekend..
Quite a few dropped out due to the nice weather and wanting to be out doing other things.. fair enough.
Have 1 offer on the table 2k over asking price and agents said there is potentially another being mulled over at the moment if the mortgage can stack up.
Im happy to have an offer on the table but apprehensive all the same. I feel i must be slightly mad moving with the interest rates at this current level and doubling my borrowing but family needs a bigger place ASAP.

Has your solicitor asked to expedite yet ? I have been dealing with the LR on the issue and gave them my sob story, as I have just lost money on my onward purchase by way of reservation deposit, plus kids starting school in September on both sides ect ect they are usually responding within a few days to e mails at least.Have a similar issue with house im buying.

Solicitor on both sides said it shouldn’t take more than 8-10 weeks and they have both recently had experience of more complex issues than mine.

This is what I am dreading. The LR really need to get their act together.
The stress, heartache and financial loss for people is awful.
I’m quite a robust guy mentally, but the stress last week was almost too much, in the end it was almost a relief on Friday when things fell apart as for the first time in a few weeks I didn’t have to have any “house” stuff hanging over us for a change.
I understand that process needs to be followed but somethings are just bloody obvious. I also feel that conveyancers and solicitors should be more accountable by ways of some insurance backed scheme for errors that are not picked or are just brushed under the carpet in previous transactions so the diligent solicitors don’t have to pass on the bill to the next buyers / sellers.

Myself and I’m sure countless others on this thread totally get it. I’m almost at the point now where I’ve completely lost any interest in moving at all, just want it to end and I don’t care how! The stress, heartache and financial loss for people is awful.

I’m about to chase LR again, I’m going with the theory of ‘he who shouts loudest’ - could backfire, but again I’m past the point of caring. Wish me luck.
It’s interesting, the previous posts about sticking in a lower offer on the eve of exchange. I can honestly say with complete conviction that if that happens to us it’ll be a straight ‘f

Though it does show the amusement of the fake drama the estate agents create for viewers by telling them "well we've got another 12 today so you best get your offer in now and be ready for best and final on Monday" when several of those viewers are clearly people not that fussed about buying a property.
Tempted to go view a few 'done up' houses around here this weekend just to get some ideas on flooring and bathrooms when I do mine next year...Mind you, might make someone else get bullied into an offer by the agent!
