Hi
We went sale agreed on our apartment 10 weeks ago. Our buyer seemed to be moving on well with the process, until 2 weeks ago. She requested to get some green cert for pyrite, which had been highlighted in the survey (survey was done early February). We provided these. Then she requested one for the common area, which we also provided.
Today, our estate agent called to see if we were willing to negotiate a price reduction as the buyer felt she was taking a risk regarding the pyrite. I don't get it, we have green certs covering the whole building, and there has never been any issue with the building. Two apartments sold recently without problem. And why ask only now?
If she pulls out now, we will have to start again from scratch and that will jeopardise our own purchase, our tracker transfer, and increase the number of months we are paying rent (we moved to facilitate the transition). On the other hand, I don't want to open the door to negotiation on a problem that doesn't exist
Oooh, what to do???
