What to Do When Your Offer Isn't Accepted 🏡💔
The world of home moving is an emotional rollercoaster 🎢.
Falling head over heels for a home, only to have your offer rejected, feels like a punch in the gut.
If it's happened more than once, you might even contemplate giving up on the dream move.
So, what's next? Should you wave goodbye to your heart's desire?
Here are your three choices:
1. Accept and Move On: Convince yourself it wasn’t meant to be and explore new avenues 🚫❤️.
2. Stay Put: Inform the seller your offer still stands. They might change their mind down the line if they face difficulties selling 🤞.
3. Up the Ante: Rethink and present a better offer, this is not limited to money but would a slower move be more ideal for them? 💷⬆️.
Most would find the idea of walking away a tough pill to swallow.
And banking on the seller to change their mind? It's dicey. But, before you rush to increase your bid, consider these steps:
- Consult the Agent: Has the seller hinted at a counteroffer? How much interest has the property had? How motivated are they to sell? These answers can be insightful 🕵️.
- Financial Health Check: Ensure you've got the latest financial advice and know your mortgage limits 💼📊.
- Set a Spending Limit: While you're emotionally invested, it's essential to be financially disciplined.
An extra £1,000 might seem trivial, but it can quickly add up with stamp duty 💸.
Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Don't lose heart, the dream home is within reach🔑.
