They hadn't actually checked what needs to be done to move their mortgage either, they just thought they would move and keep paying it like before. How the estate agent and/or solicitor didn't say "don't be so fucking stupid" at any point in the last seven months is what angers me most. Obviously the vendor is clueless and shouldn't be trusted around sharp objects but even still, if they are that clueless you would have thought someone would have paid more attention to the details instead of just letting it derail.
They are off to view/make an offer on another property tomorrow and then speak to their lender on Wednesday. I have expressed a wish for them to just GTFO and rent somewhere or move in with family or else they risk our mortgage offer expiring and being back to square one. We could easily get our offer extended but I don't want to tell them that.
