Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 41Apr 03, 2018 1:16 pm I was hopeful that today I'd be able to post a big photo of our current house with the sold sticker finally plastered across the 'for sale' sign....But of course life is never that simple for us! The buyers have requested yet another extension (they've already had 5 weeks). I may have flipped out and then spent a good 30mins in a ball crying. I have said to the agent that the only way another finance extension will be granted is if the buyers contact our broker (clearly theirs is useless) and we get some reassurance from someone we trust that they can in fact afford the house. They have since been in touch with him and he's asked us to give him 48hrs to see whether he can make it work. We seriously just can't believe it! Another $1300 in realestate.com advertising wasted, plus our solicitors fees if it falls through after all of this time. I will never sell a house again after all the turmoil we've been through so far. People sell houses everyday... Can't believe we've had such difficulty. :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 42Apr 03, 2018 1:35 pm kailie86 I was hopeful that today I'd be able to post a big photo of our current house with the sold sticker finally plastered across the 'for sale' sign....But of course life is never that simple for us!

That's heaps of time to sort out finance if someone really wants to. Do you think they are genuine buyers? Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 43Apr 03, 2018 1:59 pm Oh damn it, I’m pleased your broker has stepped up and is looking into it, they have had more than enough time that’s for sure. I would be letting your agent know if the sale falls through you will be keeping there deposit as the property has been off the market for so long and you have incurred lots of costs due to there delays. Might make the buyer get there act together too. It seems harsh but look at your $1,300 advertising fee and solicitors fees. Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 44Apr 03, 2018 2:02 pm When our broker spoke with them he said they really want the house. They had trouble 2 weeks ago with identification and middle names not matching. It's just been a giant mess! Our broker is excellent and now that he is looking into it for them/us we will wait and see what he says. If he thinks that he can get them the finance we will wait it out, if not we'll cancel the contract. So unbelievably frustrating, the laws in QLD seem so unfair. If it gets cancelled then we have to refund their deposit yet we're the ones out of pocket almost $2000 in fees and advertising. Plus no doubt the other buyers who put in offers all those weeks ago would have moved on by now and found something else. :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 45Apr 03, 2018 2:04 pm Tribe7 Oh damn it, I’m pleased your broker has stepped up and is looking into it, they have had more than enough time that’s for sure.

I'm not sure whether we are able to keep their deposit because they had a finance clause? It's something that I'll definitely ask our solicitor about though!!! It's all just so unfair. :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 46Apr 03, 2018 2:11 pm Have a chat to your solicitor or agent, there are certain circumstances which can grant you access to the deposit. I really hope your broker can pull it all together for you, it’s been a damn awful run. Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 47Apr 03, 2018 2:15 pm I really hope so!

How can people stuff you around like that?!?! If we hadn’t been assured 2 weeks ago that their finance was a sure thing then there was no way we would have granted the extension 😩 I can guarantee that next time it goes under contract the people will get 14 days for finance and no longer! Sucks so badly that we now have to push back our HIA contract signing indefinitely until this place sells 😢 :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 51Apr 03, 2018 5:00 pm I have no idea I would feel awful if I did that to someone. Damn time wasters. I would be asking for a 14 finance clause too, the banks will moan but stiff crackers. ☹️ it sucks that everything for the build has to halt now, I could ring those people’s neck for you.

I’d let you ring their neck 😂 Just have to try and stay positive and focus on colour selections for the new build, at least that will take our minds off the sale.

Not looking forward to open homes again that’s for sure! That’s so unlucky. Sometimes it goes good and sometimes it goes bad. We did 7 day building and pest and 7 day finance but our buyer didn’t need finance so we just had 7 days. Be pushed and make it happen the way you want it to. Foreign buyers are a pain sometimes hey.

I really hope your broker can pull it all together for you, it’s been a damn awful run. Also, spoke with the solicitor and she said we’ve got no ground to withhold any of their deposit because of the finance clause 😣 Just have to wear the cost. So unfair for the seller. Buyer walks away with all of their deposit and yet we’re the ones who are out of pocket. What’s the point even asking for a deposit? :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Re: Miami 31- Brighton Homes- Northern Gold Coast 56Apr 03, 2018 5:47 pm kailie86 These guys weren’t even foreign, just from NSW lol.
