You really don't do you. The first call I had this morning was from one of my clients to tell me that their vendor wants an additional £40,000 or the deal is off.

They were due to exchange this afternoon.

We brought in zone 6 last summer, the house had been on the market for about 3 months and we got it for about 5k less than the asking price. This month a smaller house on the same street was on the market for 5k more than we paid for ours and an offer was made in 2 weeks for the asking price.. The market has gone mad!

I'd advise your client to tell the vendor to fook right off then and move to some place sensible such as Birmingham - they'll probably SAVE £40k in process.

I would rather not move than live in Birmingham.
