    Hi all,

    Quick question, and if Its not the correct place mods please move.

    I am in the process of buying a house, have deposit paid and all.

    The estate agent got back to me after 8 weeks to Tell me the wife of the couple selling was in an accident but now wont sell till New year.
    I am concerned over this as have never seen something like this.
    The area of the house Has seen recent Price increase so just wondering if it may be a case of them rethinking they want more.

    Any one have experience of this or aby advise on what a next step may be.

    Cheers

    Maybe the wife was in an accident and selling the house isn't exactly on top of their minds. I wouldn't be so quick to judge really..

    Look for professional legal advice and going forward don't ask serious life questions in after hours

    After 8 weeks? Why the long wait to sell after deposit paid? I don't think you have any comeback though.

    Nobody can advise on this, or follow up on it, other than your solicitor. That's why you have one. Use him.

    This is where all the scholars reside and debate revolutionary views on philanthropy though.

    I wasnt asking your thoughts on pan-spermia or anything, just if anyone had ever been in a similar situation.

    Get your deposit back and burn down the house.
