Sleepless night here in Forest Hill. Two identical offers on our place which are just the right side of acceptable. Although it has to be said they are acceptable within the context of fairly high expectations so really I should be more grateful.
We've had confirmation that the seller of “Kentish dream house” is tied into their other (lower than ours) offer, so we have finally had to accept that it's a lost cause. Am still in mourning to be honest. Nothing else we've seen has come close. Plan B renovation project house went for over the top of budget asking price, which I was sort of expecting as well. Meh. It was definitely haunted.
The problem now is that we've seen pretty much every other property in town in our fairly wide price bracket. Feels a bit vertiginous accepting an offer on our beloved home with nothing lined up to move on to. We're now trying to see smaller places with the option to extend. Of these there's only one up now that I'd consider and the seller has apparently decided that they've "had enough viewings".
Gah! What's wrong with these bumpkins? Their lack of dead-eyed greed is making it very difficult for us to f*ck over the yokels with our filthy down from London lucre. Bastards.
