You have my sincere condolences. Life is a bitch??? but even more so when you have a house to sell. It's just typical of a lot of people today, never considering how their actions will affect others. Probably hoping to get a sale off the back of your and your other neighbour's properties with the amount of viewers that they will generate.

In our case it went one step further and our buyers did an about-turn and put in an offer on our neighbour?s house which had just gone on the market after ours. I worked with the guy (the neighbour) and only found out about it in general conversation regarding the offer he?d had on his house. He didn?t realise they were actually our buyers. I checked with the agent who confirmed this, but no one had bothered to tell us our our deal had fallen through. As luck would have it, the buyers had ?words? with my colleague during negotiations and they pulled out. Came knocking back at our door again. Would have had the greatest pleasure in slamming the door in their faces, but, due to having another house lined up, we weren?t in a position to turn them away.
