Poor Jess I do feel for you, we were in the same position three years ago but do you know what the house we eventually bought is much nicer so keep looking and do as Jane says when you can, change agents and put the price up, we did and got far more viewers than before Good hunting Norah

Just got back in Jess and read your news, so sorry. But these sort of people always find some excuse, if it hadn't been the en-suite it would have been something else. As you know if you really want a house you can move heaven and earth, the en-suite is a feeble excuse for messing people about. Big hug Gloria x

So sorry Jess, This is where our system is sooooooooo wrong. Peeps should have to cough up a large deposit immediately say 5% to hold the property until exchange date. I do feel for you. Joan xx

Can't indulge, have to go to work! Already we are on £5000 less than the identical house down the road - tied into 12 week sole agency , but guess they might budge on that Had my tears, life will go on, (*) < thats what they are, (SORRY!)

Jess, Oh my goodness, what a pain in the ... ermm ... err ... neck some people can be! The indecisiveness of it all! Honestly!! Like many other posters here, I'm a great believer in 'fate' too. In your position, I'd indulge myself this afternoon, get a good night's sleep - then hit it hard in the morning, you'll have some new ideas by then. Maybe a change of estate agent? Maybe more pressure on existing one? I'd even be tempted to up the price on your house, just to make a difference and bring it to different people's attention. Something whacky is needed ... I'll keep thinking. So sorry, it's a really stressful business - but it will come right in the end. Keep your spirits up! Jane

I am so sorry Jess, some people really do mess you around. If ours falls through again, I think I will give up, I've had enough. I hope they manage to sort something out at the estate agents. June xx

Ann, that is the very problem , the dream house IS just around the corner, literally...4 doors away. Stand in my garden and because it is round the corner , we stand in the back garen and look at the side wall.... It is just so 'there' in our face.

So sorry to hear the news Jess. I can imagine how disappointed you must be. Why couldn't they have found that out in the first place. What a couple od time wasters. I do hope your dream house is justa round the corner, or that a 'dream' buyer will be found for you. Ann Glos

Really gutted for you Jess. We lost two houses when we were buying, and we were devastated, but the one we got in the end was THE one, and we were pleased we had lost the others. Fingers crossed for you. There is a reason for everything; I hope you will be able to look back on this and smile!! Suzy
