  • We offered well under the asking price, she needs to see if 'the numbers can work' as she is also buying our flat (a bit weird but happy to go with it)
    So she has said yes but needs to talk to her solicitor to make sure she hasn't forgotten any fees/ expenses and can afford to take the hit on her asking price.
    (She is desperate to sell, previous buyer flounced on day of exchange)

  • So desperate to sell hers she's accepting way under the price and buying yours?

    I'm suspicious.

    Have you asked why the previous buyer flounced?

  • Her mother can no longer live unaided, it's her house, the sale is to help fund her assisted living. Buying ours enables us to buy hers, also she intends to rent it out for an income.
    Previously buyer flounced due to him ambition to extend above the garage, builder said it's not strong enough and would need to be bulldozed and rebuilt for the extra strength required.
    Plus he intended to rent it to the council as a HMO. Needs rewires, new boiler, new windows, good old decorate, and he decided at the eleventh hour there wasn't any money it for a fair few years.
    We still intend to do full fat survey and hope nothings too fucked.
    We are optimistic.
