Does this mean that we have to lift the curse we laid upon the vendor even unto the third generation?
I will wait for confirmation of success before withdrawing the nails from the Cypriot wax doll :)
Now suddenly, at the vendor's behest it's all a mad rush to complete the deal.
When I mentioned that the vendor could have had the money in January (instead of futilely holding out for an unrealistically high price), my lawyer was astonishingly profane down the telephone.
Don't understand grump, why was YOUR lawyer profane? Against you? Against the seller? t-m-i-l
Our lawyer expressed her exasperation at the seller.
Remember that, having agreed a price, the seller then demanded a much higher price and wouldn't budge downwards despite having no alternative buyer. Gazumping doesn't work when there's only one offer on the table.
It's ridiculous that he had to come back a couple of weeks later with a more sensible price; if he'd offered that in January the deal could have been sealed in January.
Instead, the vendor chose to procrastinate about the bush, and then whine about how long it was taking to finalise the deal. D'oh!
Plus, the lawyer didn't realize that we were going after the same property, given how we'd been jerked around previously. It was a case of realizing the hurry-up jackass was the same jackass from before.
