No Deal

[poliphilo]

The chap next door emailed us. Yesterday's meeting hasn't caused him to shift his ground- and his offer remains what it was- £100,000 less than we're asking. So that's it. No deal and no dealing.

And we'll be staying put, proceeding with the scheduled home improvements and waiting to see what happens next.

People always think they're such hardnosed real estate tycoons and they're just so wrong.

He's a corporate lawyer or something of the sort. I guess we're getting a glimpse of how such people operate.
