You can always allow the spurned woman to keep her engagement ring, or throw 1000 euro at her by means of apology, if you can afford it.

Waited for ages for a house to appear for sale in preferred estate in dublin......nothing came up so offered and went sale agreed on house in another estate...lovely house, nice area, price ok, but not, for me, the exact perfect location..but close enough...

Now...just as contract signing approaches, next week probably, a house turns up at a steal in preferred location.....big savings €000's to be made too...if only it had turned up a few weeks ago...

What would you do??? Stay the course or go for it...

Houses are like women.
The right one only shows up AFTER you've made your decision.
Deal with it.
Love the one you're with.
And love the house you're in.

Idiot.

Don't take a tongue-in-cheek remark too seriously, Dejaview.

Thanks for all replies....I do genuienly feel bad if I pull out of purchase but the house has been unoccupied for over a year and there is no chain or anything..

You're right to feel bad - but you're also right to do what's best for you. Try to not string the original people along while you deal with the new negotiations on the property. The best you can do is (if possible) agree a price and get the survey done in as short a time as possible.

The fact that the house you've agreed to buy is not occupied definitely eases the conscience!

Let's leave the comparisons to women at that.

@OP

Thing's change. Until you sign the contract you are free to do as you wish. I would not be too worried about this at all. Just explain that something has come up and you are not proceeding. 30 seconds acute embarassment and you're done.
