[Diny]

OK - here's the latest in our house sale saga.

At long last all the paperwork has been recieved which enables our buyers separation settlement with her husband to go through. This has a knock on effect .... it now looks like things 'should' be going our way.

Yesterday we had some people around to view (the house is still on the market). They had a look around but they were the type that didn't give any emotions away, nice and polite but couldn't read them at all.

Spoke to our solicitor today who tells us that things seem to be going OK at long last, but due to the fact that our buyer has lied to us and (seemingly) delayed the proceedure to suit herself all along we really shouldn't allow ourselves to rest on any laurels. Until the contracts are exchanged there is no sale. HUH - DON'T WE KNOW IT.

Anyway, this afternoon there's a knock on my door. Standing there is the man who came to view yesterday. Cutting a long story short, he wants to buy it. Says he REALLY wants to buy it. He's even offered a cash deposit to us to prove that he's serious.

So .... straight on the phone to my brief ... tell her the situation. She says that if she gets notification from this new chaps solicitor tomorrow we will go for what is known in the trade as a 'contract race'. Both parties are offering the same money so really it makes no difference to us who buys it. All along we still have to remember that it doesn't really matter how many parties say they are interested, until somebody signs a dotted line it's anybodies game - or not as the case may well turn out to be.

I have told the new 'buyer' that it's the first person across the finishing line with the money who gets the keys. At this stage I haven't told the original buyer anything. Am in abit of a quandry as what to do about her but have decided that if she moves at her usual pace then we don't need to tell her anything. If this man is serious he'll move heaven and earth over the next couple of days. If he isn't then we haven't risked pi***ng off our original buyer for nothing.

Our original buyer has lied to us, mucked us about and generally caused soooooo much stress that I've nearly been sectioned a couple of times (well - felt like it anyway). Both my solicitor and my hubby (who is stuck on an oil rig off the coast of Alexandra during all this and can do naff all to help) insist that we're not under any obligations to the original buyer and if she loses out at the 11th hour because she's mucked us around so much then she has nobody to blame but herself. I agree with them in a way - so why am I feeling dreadful that I may be pulling the carpet from under her feet and make her experience some of the angst that we've had?

Anyway - there you have it. It ain't over until the fat lady sings. In the cold light of day neither party has signed on the dotted line yet so in essence we still haven't sold. Things have turned real crazy but at least they've taken a turn in a slightly better direction than of late.

I guess the next few days will tell. We may have 2 parties battling it out or we may have 2 parties who both say "no thanks - don't want your house now". Who knows. I've come to realise that anything can happen .... and probably will.

[Timbo]

Lets hope this guy is as good as his word. Its about time we adopted the Scottish version of events if you ask me.
Good luck Diny and Mark

[jo b]

Blummin 'eck chuck............just like buses eh!


I say think of yourselves everyone else does, this isn't usually my style but when you are talking about a lot of dosh and your life then yes this is the approach you have to take.

Diny don;t beat yourself up about it, you muck your flights around nough times for this woman and she knows your predicament, I bet she hasn't had sleepless nights over you!!

Take care see you Sat.

Jo

[Dinnaefash]

Fingers crossed, Diny :nice1

Don't stress about the first woman, she's known all along what your situation is, and knows the house is still on the market. I guess if you get word that the other guy is getting really close you could warn her, then if she's dead keen she can get her finger out.

I wouldn't be too jealous of the Scottish system any more, things have really changed. It used to be that your word was your bond, but we had 3 buyers pull out for various reasons last year - until the missives have actually been signed there is nothing you can do, and that seems to take longer and longer now. :? :?

[Smiler]

Diny

I'd do exactly as you say. Don't worry about the 'old' buyer, she didn't tell you what was going on with her and I don't think you need to tell her, or beat yourself up about it.

At the risk of jinxing things, it takes a lot for the 'new' buyer to knock on the door, seems to me he is serious enough. TAKE THE DEPOSIT NOW!! :eek

I hope things go well from now on, things are changing for the better :clap I can't find a fingers crossed smiley so that will have to do.
Please keep us posted.

Deborah

[captainxmas]

Go with the safest bet - at the end of the day she has strung you along, if this second buyer is buying from the heart you can't beat it. :nice1

Never give people more than 'one chance' it makes them learn quicker. :exit

[Carol]

Diny......you are off to NZ .......

dont worry!
It WONT happen here that's for sure!!
:nice1

[Milliemoo]

Fingres crossed for you Diny :P

Milliemoo :nice1

[Bubbles]

Anyway - there you have it. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Diny, that fat lady has been waiting in the wings for quite a while now.

I hope she manages a few verses for you soon. All the best to you and Mark.

:nice1

John

[StevieD]

Good luck gal, you go for the first past the post, don't have any worries because it is for you, Mark and the kids. It is up to the others to sort their own problems out, not mess you around, innit?!!

See you Saturday (if I can walk after playing my first round of golf for 2 years tonight, absolutely stiff as a board, creaking at the seams ouch....)

:clap :clap :clap

[Mildred]

Don't know why this post didn't appear yesterday when I did the view posts since last visit thingey so apologise for not answering sooner but there you go.

Diny

I may not be religious, but I s'pose I can pray to something or other hoping all will go well. Actually, no point praying because IT WILL WORK OUT!

Blimey, you could even have a situation where they are both gazumping each other and you could end up better off - doesn't make up for all the stress you've had.

Just a thought, you could send the one who doesn't "win" your house down to buy Kim's house :nice1

Keeping everything crossed for you

[sarahw]

Whoohoo Diny - who cares if you upset your original buyer after all the mucking around & stress & rearranging your whole lives around her you've had to put up with?!! - first to exchange gets the house :laugh If anything it'll give your buyer a kick up the a*** that she needs!

Get packing girl! Looks like you might have a plane to catch soon! :nice1

[wayne]

hey Diny we had much the same thing accepted an offer on the first buyer and weeks later another offer came in £3k higher than the first so we had a conditional clause put in meaning the first one to sell their house and get the contract sorted won luckily for us the lower offer buyer dithered and fannied about and eventually pulled out saying he didnt really want to move anyway (good job we had a spare buyer!!)
Lets hope some good luck comes your way :cool

[Babette & Andy]

Flipping heck :eek you've now been subjected to every possible scenario me thinks :uhoh Totally understand your feelings, yet like others have said above (and we've talked about many a time) until your first 'buyer' finally decides to sign on the dotted line you don't owe her anything!!

It has been unbelievable how she and her (ex-)hubby have messed you guys around. She turned on the waterworks many a time, but has had NO concept or appreciation of what she's put you through. In one way I actually hope that buyer no2 is the quickest over the line, will teach her a valuable lesson for having dragged her feet and not told you and Mark the truth 95% of the time.

Will call you later, but hang in there matey. You WILL get on that big bird in the sky next week!!! Only wish we were going with you, it's going to be sooo strange not to be able to pick up the phone any time of day and have a good old chat about things.

See you Saturday - you'll be able to burn off all your frustration etc by running a triple rounder :nice1

Hugs
Babette

[Paul and Linda]

Hi Diny, It's great that you have someone else who is seriously interested and wants to progress quickly.

Is there any chance that this would be sorted before you jet off?

If you have no allegiances to your first buyer and they are not going to be significanlty out of pocket, ie. no searches still to be done etc thenyou may just be burning bridges if you let her know, and you may lose her. I mean who knows if the second guy would really come through in the end.

Best of luck, you deserve it.

Paul

[lindajax]

Hi Chuck,
My 2 penneth - sod the first buyer - 2 can play at p*****g people about.

You'e been upfront with the new guy - if he wants it he'll do whatever to get it .
Do you really care about this woman she sounds a true pain in the rear to me

I know its a stress we had no offers then 3 at once and didn't give a monkeys who got it in the end - first to front the cash mate!!!

It'll all come good - keep some faith!!!
Linda x

[acisman]

Hi Diny

Just got back on line after moving into our new house. We agree with everyone else and you shouldn't lose any sleep over the first buyer, just thing about number 1. After what you and hubby have been through, you deserve a quick resolution to the house sale and let's hope this guy pulls his finger out. Then it is a case of keeping onto your solicitor to ensure they pull out all the stops to get a quick settlement.

Not long to go before you get underway, so we hope all goes well between now and then. Bags of rain up The Coromandel at the moment, but at least the weather is very mild.

Best Wishes

Pam & Dave

[GeorgeM]

If the first on the scene have no obligation, legal or moral, to you then you have none to them.

I'm sure that they feel that they have the right to walk away if circumstances move in such a way that that is the best move for them, so I wouldn't lose any sleep on letting the new potential buyer race them towards an exchange of contracts. They've had the field to themselves and have done nothing with that advantage so it's their lookout really.

I'm sure that you've acted in good faith all the way along the line and that's all that can really be expected of anyone. You have no need to go further and leave yourselves open to being shafted!

Good luck.

[Diny]

This is blowing me away ........

At 9.19 this morning buyer number 2 is knocking at my door. He says that with all the best will in the world he may not be able to get all the paperword and legal stuff done by the end of the week (which is what my brief advised me to ask for).

So .... he's off to his bank now to sort out a cash deposit which will then be paid directly to my solicitor and be acknowledged as a non refundable deposit. Then that will take abit of pressure off the deadline of Friday but will secure the property for him

I know my solicitor will say that it's not legally binding until contracts are exchanged but who was it who said "leap and the net shall appear"?

In my mind, he wouldn't be knocking on my door every 5 mins and be running off to the bank to pay a good wad of dosh to my solicitor (with no chance of getting it back) if he wasn't serious.

He's a local man, landlord of the local pub and I've asked around about him and I got nothing but good reports back.

I'm erring towards going with him but will wait and see what news he comes back from the bank with before the next stage needs to be decided upon. Won't be burning any bridges just yet.

At the end of the day buyer A doesn't deserve anything but seeing as both parties are offering the same money I still feel happy to let it go either way.

Will keep you posted.

Diny

[Simon & Emily]

Diny - I can't add anything that's not already been said, but good luck however it goes. My money would be on the local landlord - he obviously wants the place, and looks like he would play fair - people have long memories when bitching about others......

Lets hope you all make that plane :nice1

Emily

[Smiler]

Hi Diny

Money cash non-refundable deposit :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

He seems real keen and likes your front door too!!

Good luck with both of them but my money is on the local man coming up trumps. At least he is keeping you informed!!

Everything crossed and more

Deborah

[Diny]

11.23 a.m. update.

Just had a call from buyer no 2's bank.

They wanted to confirm that everything he's told them is correct and want to know my solicitors details etc.

I told them the exact situation, letting them know that it's still a 2 horse race and that I won't p*** off buyer 1 until buyer 2 comes up with some dosh.

She said that she fully understand. I asked her outright - 'can it be done' her answer was 'yes'.

Then she told me that she would be getting back to her client now to sort it out. I said that I needed the NON REFUNDABLE cash deposit lodged with my solicitor within 24 hours. She said not to worry - she'd get onto it right away.

Better do the last bit of packing now and let Mum & Dad know that they may have lodgers for the next 10 days. Ohhh nooooo .... musn't say that .... tempting fate.

Still not relaxing but definately feeling abit better :nice1

Diny

[Smiler]

Diny

Things certainly seem to be moving quickly, but I'll still keep everything crossed.

He does seem pretty serious doesn't he??

Deborah

[Hannah-NL]

Diny I have my fingers crossed so much for you that it hurts!

My money is on horse number two !!!

[Mildred]

Diny

Does he know that you aren't part of the fixtures and fittings ;)

[driver]

Got everything crossed for you Diny.

:nice1

[KD17]

Hi Diny

No conscience there from what I can see, except from the first woman who's been messing you about.

All the best of luck - very long deserved :nice1

I hope the guy gets the house, personally, for how the woman has been to you she doesnt deserve it.

I'd be inclined to say to him if he can complete by your deadline he can have it for £1,000 less - that will get somone moving :eek :eek

[Diny]

2.19 pm update.

What a morning !!!!!!

It seems like the great English house buying/selling system is putting a few hurdles in our way now - but not too bad.

Buyer 2 can't pay a cash deposit out of the blue to my solicitor. There's all kind of wierd and wonderful laws about money laundering to be adhered to. Then there's the unethical point of view. It could look like my solicitor was 'forcing' him into an agreement. Annoying rules but obviously ones that are put in place for everybody's good.

So .... the proper channels have to be gone through. Buyer B has had to get his solicitor to get moving real quick. It's at times like this you get to learn the real truth behind the time scale for conveyancing. Apparantly if all the stops are pulled out it can be done in a matter of a few days :roll: .

So .... the system dictates that we have to opt for the contract race. Our money is still on buyer 2 but we're still in an 'anything could happen' situation. I must admit I do feel a little better now that we have 2 potential buyers. All we can do is sit tight and see what happens.

This is very good cardio vascular exercise by the way.

Diny

[Paul and Linda]

Hi Diny, we had some people last night who were super duper keen but I thought that it would take them the standard 4 weeks to complete so we are sticking with our original buyer. Surely this chaps mortgage is going to take a while and a surveyors report will be required?

[Hannah-NL]

Another tenner on the stallion!!! :clap

[Mildred]

Who needs Eastenders when we've got Diny's housesale saga!

Babette

[Diny]

OK

I promise this will be the last update of the day.

His people have spoken to my people, my people have spoken to his people.

We are in a full steam ahead contract race.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he gets to the finishing post first.

My solicitor has said that NOTHING is set in stone until one of them signs on the dotted line but her money is on buyer B.

We have indeed decided to leap and our fingers are crossed that the net will appear. We have booked our shippers who - once again - have come to the party. They are coming on Tuesday morning.

If all goes belly up and BOTH parties pull out then we'll end up with a large amount of egg on our faces and an empty house in the UK to sell ..... but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

So ...... (at the moment) it looks like we'll be on those flights on 16th.

Now then ........ where's the valium ???????

Diny

[Babette & Andy]

Now then ........ where's the valium ??????? will bring some for you on Saturday, together with a couple of bottle of Champagne :cheers Hang in there Diny, we're all rooting for you guys :nice1

I don't know how you've handled this on your own.


Me neither !!!!!!!!!!!!

I know feel a bit like this ......

http://tcwozere.co.uk/smileys/ac39.gif

But hey - I'll survive.

Mark is feeling really frustrated cos he's not able to help at all. All this too-ing and fro-ing between us has been done via MS Messenger, with bad comms connections and a 2 hour time difference.

Can't wait to make the most of the free drinks on the plane next week.

Thanks for all the support - you lot are brilliant.

Diny

[Tara Sage]

And all this happened while I was asleep!

Good Luck Diny what a gripping tale for 7.30 in the morning I really should be getting ready for work.

Keep us upto date with the progress but I am sure everything is going to be ok now.

:nice1

[Wiggles]

Hi Diny

I have been out of the loop for some time now - will do a detailed update. I can't believe all this has been going on! Good luck - you know that we went through the same thing, and I still can't believe that after 6 months the house sale went through!

Sending all my positive energy to you & hope it all comes together. You certainly deserve it!

Take care
Wiggles

[AliJax]

Diny - you don't need any words of encouragement from me, its all freewheeling from now on, whether the brakes work or not !

Good on yer.



See you soon.

Any more news this morning Diny ?

Milliemoo :nice1

[Carol]

OMG!!!
I feel like I've missed everything!!!!

Told you you would be on your way luv!
:clap

[Diny]

Thursday up-date.

We are still in the contracts race but it looks like buyer number 2 is the firm favourite. Buyer number 1 is still dawdling along. I spoke to her last night and told her that we have to look after ourselves, that she had delayed and caused too mush hassle (not to mention extra expense) up to now. She was her usual non-commital laid back self about everything. I don't know whether that woman in on this earth or fullars.

Buyer 2 spoke to me early evening yesterday and told me that everything would be OK, that he was looking forward to living in the house and I was not to worry about anything as he won't let us down.

Maybe it's a case of once bitten twice shy ..... but I still won't allow myself to relax.

But we are leaping .... and we hope that the net will appear. If not we'll just face that scenario if/when it happens. Us in NZ and an empty house in the UK on the market isn't the end of the world. Have booked the hotel for the night before we fly from Manchester. Have booked the motel for the first night in Auckland. Am just about to book the hire car. Have written a letter to school to say the boys are leaving next Wednesday, am just about to post a note through the letter boxes in our lane telling them that the container truck will be here next Thursday.

On top of that I've also managed to fit one last trolly dash around Ikea in this morning with my sis (including bacon rolls & coffee in the restaurant to start us off).

9 days to departure day. The clock is ticking and I'm like a fruitcake. Have just bawled my eyes out with my mum cos I'll miss her but feel better for letting off 'steam'. Have been so pre-occupied with house sale c**p that the emotional family bit has been kinda overlooked for a while. Not a bad thing actually.

Gotta dash ......... sooooooooo much to do.

Diny

[Smiler]

Diny
Thanks for the update and for finding the time to do it.

No2 buyer sounds great, does he have brothers or sisters that want to buy forum members houses too?

:clap :clap :clap keep going not long now.

Deborah

[Mildred]

I was not to worry about anything as he won't let us down.


In my case this would mean I was about to be let down.

Of course in your case he will keep his word.

has he seen the shotgun you keep behind the door just in case :laugh

[Diny]

has he seen the shotgun you keep behind the door just in case

No - but I think my threat to slander his name all over the village did the trick.

In fact ..... 2.42 pm and he's just knocked on my door again. This time he brought his son along with him. He said he just wanted to show his lad around and to give me an update of what's happening. Says he'll be away for the weekend but will contact me on Monday morning to 'touch base' (I tell you - if he thinks he's touching my base he's got another think coming).

Things moving fast (I'm still refusing to rest on any house sale laurels) but I'm having a ball at the same time.

Diny

[Kim39]

Yee haa !!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Diny]

4.43 pm

This is unbelieveable. Just had another knock on the door. Thought it was buyer number 2 (again).

No ...... it was a person who I've never seen before, wanting to know if he could look around. He says he's really wanting to move into the village - has no house to sell and will match the asking price.

What is going on here.

Anyway - I explained the situation and took his number to arrange a viewing over the weekend. Might as well keep my options open.

How odd.

Diny

[Smiler]

Diny

Did he have cash??

Have you been out to check for posters on trees, big yellow arrows to your house, that sort of thing?

:eek

Good on ya gal, :clap told ya they are like buses, you might even end up getting more for the house than you asked for here.

See ya Saturday

Jo

[Mildred]

Just to hijack your thread, are your boys excited (no not talking about PB here)

[Diny]

are your boys excited

Oh yes !!!!!!!

Mind you ... the biggest excitement for them at the moment is that they are leaving school next Wednesday - a full week and a half before everybody else finishes.

But yeah - the whole process has got them wound up like a cheap clock. There's the occasional 'reality hit' which brings on a few tears but all in all they're doing pretty well.

Yesterday they experienced their first 'real' goodbye. They have a private tutor once a week who came for the last time yesterday. She's a lovely lady who fell in love with my boys from day 1. They gave her flowers and a thank you card and there were tears all round when it was time for her to go. It shook them for a while but they bounced back in a couple of hours.

Luckily when we arrive in NZ thier cousins will still be on school holidays so it'll be great for them all to spend some time together. Will be good for Mark and I to be able to shoot around doing all the bank account/hunting for rentals etc knowing that they are playing with other kids instead of being hauled around with us.

I'll let you know how the 'big' goodbyes go once we're on the otherside. I have a sneaky feeling that the boys will cope with them alot better than I will. Don't wish to think about that at the moment.

Diny

[Tara Sage]

Hang in there Diny the next couple of weeks are going to be so manic and emotionally a killer but your nearly there!!

Look forward to reading your tales from the other side soon!

[StevieD]

Diny, when you are feeling a bit low, just think of Kim walking up your Dad's driveway in that wig :laugh :laugh :laugh

Works for me every time!!

[sarahw]

Heck!!! have just caught up with the saga!!! Wow!!! Sounds like they'll all soon be fighting over the house. Bit strange that buyer no 2 keeps knocking on the door but he's obviously v. keen about buying the house. Keeping fingers crossed!

[Mildred]

Well I am terrible with goodbyes. When I left London to move to Kent as a teenager I refused to go to school on the lastday as I couldn't cope with the goodbyes. Felt terrible because all my friends came round my house after school instead.

The worst time was leaving Australia to come back to UK after a long holiday with my cousin's friends. Driving back to Sydney Airport the song "Leaving on a Jet Plane" came on :(

Just don't wear any mascara for the next week or so, unless you are answering the door to strange men ;)

[wayne]

We make a point of never saying goodbyes its always See you later :nice1

[Babette & Andy]

We make a point of never saying goodbyes its always See you later same here Wayne, saying 'Au Revoir' just has a much better sound to it :yes

Dreading the Au Revoirs at tomorrows NW meet though :no :no :no

Babette

[Diny]

Well yesterday (Friday) was fairly quiet regarding buyers/solicitors. Buyer 2 had called me on Thursday night to say that we would be away over the weekend so not to panic if I don't hear anything from him. Yesterday lunch time my solicitor called me with an update. She says everything is moving VERY fast and so far so good. Don't worry - I'm still living under the constant cloud of pesimism (sp) ..... I'll be alot happier when the dotted line has been signed but I'm telling myself that the massive leap of faith we're taking will pay off in the end.

Mum & Dad came over yesterday and we really got to grips with the last of the packing and sorting, moving things to certain piles, washing down skirting boards that have been hidden behind furniture for ages (didn't realise what filthy people we are). My mum (refusing to take on board the fact that she's 75) was climbing up step ladders and humping around book cases twice her size ..... you really need to meet my mum to appreciate how physically younge she is. Dad spent most of the day in the garden mumbling something about how there were more weeds than flowers and maybe in NZ we should consider covering our new garden with decking and sun loungers. Not a bad idea actually :nice1

Today is the day of the NW picnic at Tatton Park. The sun is shining, the sky is blue - looks like it'll turn out OK. 7 days to lift off. I'm experiencing waves of uphoria closely followed by panic attacks and the voice screaming in my head ...."what are you doing you stupid woman". Is this normal?

Continuing to cross my fingers ..... time will tell.

Diny

[Chris Blunt]

I'm experiencing waves of uphoria closely followed by panic attacks and the voice screaming in my head ...."what are you doing you stupid woman". Is this normal?

Hi Diny,

Yes it seems to be quite normal.......... We leave eight days and I've been exactly the same.

Good luck,

Dont worry - it's all going to be OK.

flippin Eck mate......

Its all go there eh?.....

The mad feelings are perfectly normal - I didn't realy have any as things went prtty smoothly --- but i know i just wouldn't have coped well with your ups and downs!!!!

Just bear in mind why your doing this and keep focussed.

saying your goodbyes is difficult and tiring...... its like the end of an era BUT your not on Mars in NZ and these new fangled things called telephones and web cams can be a godsend.

Mate, I feel for you at this point.... so been there but look where I am now!!!!! :clap

See you on the other side ( we move the day you Fly!)

will PM you with all contact details


LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS
