A Tale of Two Buyers

I'm frustrated. Upset. Fed up. And having to remember that God is God, and answerable to no-one but Himself. He does not have to tell me why things are happening the way they are happening, He does not have to explain Himself to me. He is who He is.

The house is now going through the motions with a second potential buyer. And, as with the first potential buyer, this second one is being just as difficult. The first buyer kept putting us off not providing proof of funds, and eventually we gave him an ultimatum to provide or we go with someone else who we had waiting in the wings, so to speak.

Enter Buyer#2. Says that he can complete within a week, especially as most of the paperwork has already been done. Then he asks for a survey, even though he said initially that his offer wasn't subject to survey. Fair enough says we, do the survey if it makes you happy. Then he tries to ask for an extra £4.5k off the price - which has already been discounted by £15k from its original asking price. When we exclaim at his cheek, he says that he only wants £2.5k off, not £4.5k. Still, that's just rude. And procrastinating. And upsetting everybody else.

I wonder how this scene will end, and whether we have an Act 3 to look forward to.
