Seller's agent just rang and asked us to contribute another £5k to get the deal done as our seller has made an offer on a place but is at her maximum and her offer isn't quite enough. They've asked that we think about it and go back to our buyer with it. They said "if everyone chips in we can get the deal done".
Finding this a bit hard to swallow. We're already over the very top of our budget and i'm not comfortable going back to our buyer upping the price when they've been waiting the best part of three months. Anyway, why should the people in rented accommodation waiting to move into our two bed flat contribute to the budget of a single retired lady selling a four bedroom house to move out to a (presumably even bigger) place on the coast?
It stinks. I REALLY don't want to lose our place but i'm f*ucked if i'm going to borrow even more cash to pay for someone else's retirement.
Fuck off
