Gazumping, Gazundering and now Gadumping...
In a report today in the Daily Mail, it was announced that house buyers pulling out of deals has increased to 4 in 10 as more and more buyers are failing to secure finance or losing their nerve. And as it's been at least 12 hours since someone tried to get a new property term into the lingo, it's high time we took the baton - let's face it, we can't do any worse than Rightmove's "Brickor Mortis."
After Gazumping (raising a price after agreeing a lower one) and Gazundering (dropping the price after agreeing a higher one), it's time to raise a glass to Gadumping - and be sure to use it wherever you can. If we work together, it'll be a Countdown conundrum by Christmas....
