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.

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
