A guy says

'I'll give you asking price .. but can only give you half the money now (cash), the other half in six months. BUT I HAVE to move in now and the house to be off the market now (or the deal's off). You can treat the first half of the dosh as a non-refundable deposit or something, call it what you want but basically I don't get it back and if I don't cough up the rest in 6 months the house is still yours and I move out, we'll formally 'complete' about 6 months down the line when I will definately have the rest of the dosh ... by the way all I have said above will be formally written into contract ..'

What seriously is this magically company you own and run that can make zero profit one year and yet be able to show enough profit three months later to allow a three hundred grand mortgage?
