Heres a potential warning for anyone going through this proccess
Finally completed on this https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-54108750.html Friday after a 7 month wait from the Sale / Offer acceptance.
The whole chain was perfect at the start, then our buyer started to drag there heels a little, then a bit more, then when pushed went on holiday for 5 weeks... When they returned from holiday they deemed to tell us that one of the partners (recent) divorce was messy and in fact they were having a spot of bother getting money freed by the ex wife.
So.
When we sold we could have sold to 1 of 4 buyer, 1 was willing to pay beyond asking, we went with these and asked EA were there any negatives with the offer? they knew about but didn't tell us about the divorce thing.
Long story short, ask about the buyers relationship. Weve bought and sold loads over the last 20 years and were still flummoxed by this.
Good luck to those buying and selling.
