Back to Square One...or Two?

You really couldn’t make the house saga up...
Last week daughter phoned me as I was getting ready to go shopping...
Is the neighbour in...apparently she hasn’t sent in her completion form...
Could you find out if there is a problem...as survey had been done a good couple of weeks before...
Yes there was a problem...she is no longer buying the property she was going to.
BOTHER...
However she was still selling, turning into a lucrative cash buyer and either moving in with a daughter or renting...
Stress...but manageable...however she had been told that there was a problem at the bottom of the chain...
WHAT...daughter had been told it was all good to go...
Apparently very bottom of chain had moved into first house before lockdown....
They had moved to goodness knows where and were putting the financial thumbscrews on the couple buying daughters house...only we didn’t find out these details until last Friday when they were told that their sale was off.
BIG STRESS...NOT MANAGEABLE...
Would daughter wait a couple of weeks...err no as that house had only received one offer in a year on the market...
Our neighbour agreed to not put hers on the market and keep it for them...
They agreed to give her some time and move in with us for a while to let her get sorted...
Cue Grandma looking after young Henry as mummy, and daddy when he returned from work tidied and cleaned like crazy...couldn’t help about the boxes everywhere...
They had a viewing on Saturday morning...
They had an offer Saturday afternoon...
The couple are renting...
Can I breathe?...
How long will our neighbour take to find a property?
Realistically if nothing by July she may be better off renting...
Oh and to finally turn my hair white they need to exchange by mid July as their mortgage offer expires...
Don’t want to take any chances being on maternity leave and with the uncertain future of the economy...
By rights I should have lost weight...
Err no...a little COMFORT EATING has obviously been taking place and I see another chin developing at a rapid rate.
Oh dear.
