This is General so there is no topic to go off unless it's Europe . It is, however, a tulip rant worthy of a nice fat WGAS. Possibly one of the worst openings by a new sockie for awhile.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -
1. You haven't lost the other house, unless you have already told them you don't want it. If so, you're not very smart.
2. If your buyers were smart and struggling to get a mortgage, they would use a broker, not try to do it direct. Unless, of course, they found a different house that they preferred.
3. What NLUK said.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Of course the smart thing to do is to keep the old house and let it out. Its increasing in value so quickly.
