  • what you deffo want to avoid, is being in the chain from hell, full of miserable old people who dont give a fuck about anyone apart from themselves.

    pretty much everyone involved in the process has acted like an utter cvnt - from my own estate agent who lost interest because it was taking too much of his time up (his comforting words to me 5 months into the process "i've written this deal off jack, its not going to work, just find another buyer, its taking too long", my buyer (who tried to chip me 10k a few weeks back because it was taking so long and because my house needed new windows apparently (spoiler: it doesn't)- had to give him 3.5k discount just to keep him on the hook).

    I have agreed to sell mine 2 weeks early, and stay with my inlaws, just so i no longer have to deal with my idiot buyer, and then complete on herongate road at the end of march just to get it done and to save my sanity.

    the last few weeks I have felt it take its toll on me actually. I've never had mental health problems (and still dont) - but i have felt quite low about it all. It brings out the worst in people. I have tried to be fair and reasonable with everyone involved, but i really have wanted to go and stove more than one persons head in with a spade on more than one occasion.

  • Oof - sounds awful.

    When we completed and the money cleared into our account I felt like a different person. The stress eats away at you. I had developed a fairly visceral hatred of the buyers' conveyancer after nine months.
