Gazundered

Update

I've got good news for the congregation....

Told the buyers to get lost with their sneaky gazundering attempt, and they came back and offered the full original price. Exchanged contracts today!



The lesson here is: don't mess with cats

PS: Thanks for all the advice!

Grats !

Although in this climate, you cannot really blame them for trying can you ? I'm sure you'd do the same in their position, and even if you wouldn't, a hell of a lot of others would, so just accept that it's part and parcel of a buyer's market and move on.

Not sure.... What 'climate' are we talking about here? I had plenty of interest in my flat. The buyers made their offer just after it went on the market, effectively giving them a ten week reservation on my property during the conveyancing, with only the minimal commitment of a cheap survey. During that time I'm confident I could have found an alternate buyer.

Actually you made the best point of the lot:

a) get shafted and resent it for the rest of your life

Well, that's what I usually do. And it's tulip. I just wish I was the sort of person who call's other people's bluff.
