Serious thread.
So, my Mam's had the house up as of December 2010, as she's always toyed around with the idea of moving into a Semi-Detached house, she's always aspired to get a bigger house, by herself, before she reaches 45, or else she'll have an issue with the Mortgage.
About 20 minute walk, there's an estate which is council owned, which is being knocked down, and as thus there's an elderly woman (Around 50ish, perhaps older, I never paid attention).
This woman, in essence seems to be a gold digger, and she managed to persuade the council to buy our house and my mam accepted the offer (To my dismay, as I don't want to move).
My mam quickly went searching for a house, and found one close by (Around 5 minutes walk), it was a semi-detached house, had a conservatory and green house, despite the victorian like decor, my mam rushed into making an offer, which was accepted.
The woman brings her son to inspect the house, see where they can move stuff etc, and we do the same to the house we planned to move into.
All seemed to be going well, my mam started packing up this house, while the elderly woman requested checks done on our house to make sure it was "suitable" (A desperate plea for her to try and find ANYTHING wrong with the house so she could get more money imo, this house is much better than the council estate crap she lived in, the estate was like a total cess pit, my dad used to live there, and I knew the scum that occupy the estate.)
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with our house as via the checks, which my mam paid out for.
My mam said they'd both signed their contracts yesterday and the completion date for moving was Friday (Though actual clarity has never been my mams strong point)
To clarify at this point ;
Mam's paid out for checks done on our house, ordered new stuff for the new house, started packing, and both parties have signed their contracts.
However, as of today, my mam's received a text off the woman stating "Due to personal reasons, I won't be buying your house"
My mam's now furious, and I'm getting the brunt of it (But that's another matter)
How is it possible, after the contracts have been signed, with the completion date to be Friday for it to fall through THREE DAYS BEFORE THE MOVE? Also, it's not her buying it, it's the council buying it for her, to which I now hope drop her in a home. In my opinion, the house we're in at present is a lot better than the new one, my mam has done out EVERY room.
Bearing in mind, I don't want to move.
Also, I'm assuming she's able to claim expenses paid off the elderly woman?.
Cheers.
