Hello sbwells. I don't blame the legal system. I blame the general lack of faith people exhibit in propery transactions in the UK.
What really p!sses me off is I really loved that house. I would have walked over hot coals to get it. And they've completely dismissed that dedication in favour of a poxy few grand which they're not gonna get anyway because their buyer, like the 3 'first time' buyers who offered before I did, will drop out when they realise it has certain 'quirks', like no mains drainage, oil fired C.H cos no gas, communal garden, management fees etc etc, by which stage, I'll be safely ensconced in some other house, which I may well love as much, and it's their loss.
B*ll*cks to 'em
Just popping indoors to open some more red wine!
