  • We've just had our cunt buyer walk away from our sale a week or so prior to exchange because he's a cunt. Demanded big discounts and that we basically refurb the house at the last minute (his survey took place a month ago and identified nothing material) and walked when we politely declined. We know a bunch of people who've had issues with cash buyers from China doing this, but wanted to deal with this cunt on face value. Turns out, he's just a shitbag cunt.

  • Cash buyers and more so foreign cash buyers will tend to be quite aggressive, simply because it doesn't cost them anything to be so due to the nature of their position.

    We sold our flat to a foreign cash buyer; our position was 'you exchange by this date for this money, and if you do not, piss off'.

    Still didn't stop them from trying to stiff me regarding some unpaid works on the place though, which fortunately I spotted and had to tell them again how things were going to be. Exhausting and boring in equal measure.

    Yeah, that we were expecting, but the nature of the comms was just strange - they'd been pushing for ages to get in by Xmas, and we'd been pushing up the chain, then they walk away a few hours after making daft demands, and have to start from scratch elsewhere, after paying for the survey etc. But we don't even know if they were really cash buyers, if they were really buying as a family or investment buyers, or anything really. Pretty sure he/they're proper cunts tho.
