Mate of mine pulled out of a purchase twice, on same property. First time was because of work related issues but was resolved.
2nd time because of survey.
Then, he had a re think and decided he really wanted the house.
Thing is, the seller wanted him to buy but with no searches! Lol. Then, only if he left a non refundable deposit of several thousand! No chance!
Then, the estate agents stepped in and told my mate to move on as the owner didnt want to sell to him and that him pulling out was bad for their business! They washed their hands of my mate.
So, my mate asked his solicitor to contact the sellers solicitor to broker a deal. He eventually got the deal!
Estate agents are utterly useless etc...
