I simply don't believe it! Just as I thought it was safe to relax slightly from the stress of house sale and purchase..
I got a letter with the postal delivery this morning, it was handed to me by the postlady, but was marked "by hand" "Private and confidential" somewhat ominous.
The first line made me freeze and the world stopped for a second or two I swear.
Dear *********
With regret we are writing to inform you that we are no longer in a position to proceed with the purchase of your property... Then a lengthy tome about how they now need to sell their own property, because the people who were lending them the money to proceed were now no longer in a position to do so. Family apparently.. and then a lot of slating the estate agents attitude regards their own sale and how they really still wanted to buy the house but.........
I am totally gutted and can barely think or speak at the moment ..
If we find another buyer now with the winter drawing in and the market slower and everything looking much less attractive than in June.. Frankly we shall be lucky to achieve the asking price. This means that I will not be able to afford the house I have been working towards buying, so I will be out of pocket regards that.. The knock on effect is that I will lose the considerable amount of money I have invested in solicitors searches land searches surveys etc.
AND the TPBW is likely to stay put and not rent anywhere for the foreseeable future.

They say the three most stressful things in the world are:
Divorce
Moving House
Death of a Relative
Oddly enough, the first two often leave you planning the third.
