    The short answer is no.

    Sounds like you’ve been gazumped.

    Verbal contracts aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Until the vendor accepts a formal written offer and signs a contract of sale, the property is essentially still on the market.

    I guess your choices are;

    1. To either persue the property – you may end up in a bidding war, or it may just be an agents ploy. Or…

    2. To let it go, and move on to the next deal.

    Good luck either way.

    Good work Neo…you have just proved yourself to be better than the average investor who would have simply put in the higher offer and paid more than they should have. Well done.

    Cheers,

    Mathew.

    yeah thank you

    the 1st rule (well maybe not the first but it’s one! and somewhere in the list!) buy with your head not your heart! i didnt want to get into a bidding war and the investment not turning out anygood, if i had of lost it i would of just moved onto the next money spinner i could find.

    thanx all for your kind words [8D]
