Oh my gosh, what a life saver!!!!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou :)

"Joint form of General conditions for the sale of land' - Yes that is the devil!

My partner and I put an offer in on a house.

The offer was accepted subject to finance approval.

We have til the 3.1.06 to get finance approval.

We have already got finance approval BUT after doing our research it looks like we got jipped and are paying way too much for this house. We want out!

How can we get out of this? Is it simple? Like a cooling off period or something?

If it's complicated, i thought of this:

The bank would only lend us the money if the house is worth what we are paying for it.

We think it's been overvalued and I thought maybe if we get it valued by a different real estate agent, and the property comes under the purchase price, the bank will have to reject our loan, therefore we are declined finance, getting out of the contract. But that's gonna cost $400.

Much appreciate your help!

I'm a Ex-real estate agent. You can only get out by going to court now. If the bank has given you finance approval then they have deemed the house worth that value. Plus, no such thing as overvalued property if you have already offered that amount.

As with anything to do with contracts, try to find some clause in there which he has not fulfilled and argue the point. Try to sort it out before getting too close to the settlement date cause if it goes over, you'll get hit with extra penalties too.

Did you place a deposit?

Second option is to call their bluff and tell em you wanna pull out. The other party might not wanna court battle and agree to retract the contract.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
