I've heard about this! Friends of ours that we met when we were living in Vietnam planned to move back to the UK (where they're from) and had a house lined up, papers signed, deposit paid and everything. Months later the seller changed their mind - I had no idea that was an option and am sure it's not just tough for locals but a huge surprise to foreigners who never would have considered that being an option!

Such a relatable post! Thank you for making me feel less crazy and out of control. I tell myself we’re doing the best we can, but it’s comforting to know we really are!

You're certainly not alone in this! Just keep doing the best you can and try not to get frustrated with the seemingly endless steps. You'll get through it!
