Grrr.

So I got a call from the estate agent this afternoon telling me that the lady who I'm (hopefully) buying the flat from has come back and said she can't afford to move unless she gets the asking price, which is about £3000 higher than we agreed upon. I'm fairly certain that they're trying to squeeze more money out of me, and that this is actually a lie. So I'm really pretty mad right now. I'm going to call them back tomorrow and turn them down, see what happens.

Grr! I hate it when people play games like this!

Grrr... from Sammy, too! I don't know what it is with property selling, but it just seems to turn lots of people a little bit crazy (although I imagine it's got something to do with the money and legal bits and pieces involved). Nobody I know who has tried to either buy or sell a property seems to have managed to do it without any unnecessary frustrations. Anyway, I hope that the lady sees sense and stops messing you about.

*big hug* Apologies for not getting back to you before you moved - I was in Florida (!). Not really an excuse, I know. I'm glad everything's going okay with your job and hope that you're having a good week. :)

*Grrr* from me too. I hate the way that there always seems to be a lot of sneaky manipulation going on in housing deals. I hope they stop messing you about.

Bastards. You should definitely turn them down and see if she suddenly changes her mind.

That's what I've done today, now just waiting to hear back. Hoping they'll back down, the bitches.
