we put all our stuff in stoerage and stayed in caravan for 3 weeks then a holiday house for 6 weeks when we were in a similar situation. our goldfish lived in a bucket in the shower during this time and were none the worse for wear when we finally moved into what is now also a previous home.

Here is a link to the cottage, we stayed in.

    That's something worth keeping BUT............the buyers  have now pulled out so here we go again................

So your lawyer didn't have all the papers in order then!  You can't pull out this late in Scotland without being sued for various losses unless the offer and acceptance were incorrectly done. Sue your lawyer!

Oh no, Sandy, how disappointing for you  I can't believe how unlucky you have been selling Tower House.I suppose it's quite a limited market though, because it's so big.

  for next time.

[john and helen]

we have a situation, the buyers of the house are using mums solicitors, so we had to find another one

..so when they looked up and said to my solicitor, we need all the relevant paperwork for the extension that was built on the house, (this was done before mum bought the house) they said we might have to get an indemnity insurance, if the council come back and say it never had planning ...

my solicitors reply was... well your firm did the last sale on the house, no doubt you already have all the correct paperwork, so if any indemnity insurance is needed, i will take it as your firm of solicitors will pay for it

 

don't you just love suits

[happygolucky]

The sale was subject to contract, so no suing is going on from us or any others involved.....not even any costs from our solicitors as they will continue from where they left off in any future sale, we had other offers but banks are not lending as much currently. I am not too disappointed as it happens and neither is Steve.

Sandy, I am sorry to hear that your buyers have pulled out but its great that neither of you are too disappointed. That has to tell you that something wasn't right with it.    that a good buyer comes along soon.

[happygolucky]

  Bionic, thanks so much for that, none of the houses we were going after were quite right, I love some more remote ones but then like the reality of living near a bus and train etc,  we had more of a shock a few weeks ago when 2 of my 3 daughters nearly lost their homes, it appears we are all staying put now......

If the extension has been up for more than 4 years and no one has objected to it, it's likely that the council wouldn't be able to take action anyway and would grant a letter of comfort to that effect anyway!!

[happygolucky]

You may be able to obtain retrospective planning permission

We got a letter of comfort from the sellers solicitor when we bought this place last year.
Seemed to satisfy all parties and the sale rolled through smoothly.

The problem has been with the lenders...for us and our buyers......they have tightened up and they want a sure bet return to lend money on.  Its a very big and very old house....a bit like me but not very

[in the hills]

Hope you find another property soon. As Bionic says that one couldn't have been the right one or you would feel at least a bit disappointed.


Enjoy searching for the perfect one.

Not a properly constituted sale then.  Sorry it's happened, but I suppose you can get on and look forward to Christmas in that lovely old house.  You always have it so beautifully decorated.  I love old houses, and yours has so much Georgian character.  I suppose the pubs might put some people off, but even so it ahs alot going for it.

Thanks!!!!
