House Sale problems!

Not sure how serious this is yet. Got a call this afternoon from my Estate Agent. The buyer has been in with a shopping list from a local builder for things he wants done to the house. Apparently with the Islamic Mortgage he is getting he needs to actually have £1200 worth of work done before he completes... However, he has gone to my Estate Agent with a shopping list of jobs including, apparently, new skirting boards...

Yeah. Right.

My Estate Agent has suggested that I drop the price £1200 for the quick deal (bearing in mind I've actually signed the contract and we were about to exchange) but that there is no point in dealing with the guy over the £5000 issue. If he pushes the point, the estate agent reckon they have a property developer lined up to buy cash for roughly the same as I'd get with the £1200 drop.

I don't need this, I really really don't.

*sigh*
