When we sold in London 30 years ago we tried to buy in Ruislip and Denham.
Both sellers were intent on upping the price that we had first agreed on. The seller in Denham got us to up our offer by 17 grand and when she wanted another £500(the price of a new sofa was how she put it) We told her to stick it up her arse.
When told her estate agent we were no longer interested they both tried to backtrack but it was too late. The couple in in Ruislip tried the same trick so we pulled out straight away and bought a house with building plot in Norfolk.
The house we built in Norfolk was sold to a lady that took a very long to complete(6 months) While the sale was going through we were offered 10 grand over the asking price by a local farmer that was a cash buyer but we refused his offer as we had agreed to sell to Pippa.
Some sellers and buyers are ****s. Their word means Jack.
