I was up all night worrying about this and I think I've come to a realisation: buying your first home shouldn't feel like a terrifying risk. If you're scared that future legal issues will leave it worthless, don't buy it. I'd only end up sitting in it worrying.
I realised that I was pretty sure that I wanted to walk away, but just didn't have anywhere to go if it fell through, so kept plugging away even though I wasn't happy. Hopefully I have arranged something short-medium term now, so I'm going to email the agent and say "thanks, but no thanks" and keep my eye out for something more betterer.
And in the meantime maybe my other half will move to London and we can do this together.
Live to fight another day, and all that.
