After 6 other failed offers, just had a seventh fail for the most unexpected reason.
We offered £25k above asking and the seller was due to decide today.
We were the highest offer and the seller was about to go with us when the next door neighbours pop round. They want to buy it for their kids and will match any offer.
Seller (who seems a decent person) now in a real bind. She's known neighbours for 10 years and is giving them a week to get a mortgage approved.
I suspect unless they have a big deposit they'll fail to get one.
There's nothing else we can do but wait or find somewhere else.
