First time renting and stressful

I’m due to get married, and back in June me and my partner secured a flat, passed referencing, paid a holding fee and everything. We were good to go for July move in.

However, last week we were told that the landlord has pulled out due to external factors, and therefore we cannot move in. We got a refund.

Now, we are flat hunting again, with our wedding in 3 weeks and we are viewing every other day, sending offers, providing everything but some estate agents don’t get back, or update you.

We put an offer down for a flat we liked and provided all our documents and we haven’t heard back from him. I sent him an email but nothing.

For context. We both work full time, earning over £80,000 combined, children free etc and have all our documents ready.

I’m stressing out so much and it has caused issues. I don’t want to pester or bother the estate agent but we are running out of time.

I might be sensitive and emotional, but this is my first time renting but not his.

I don’t know what to do!

Worried about fraud buyer

Hi

I sold an item to a buyer, but I read their reviews after and they had reviews saying that they find little faults in the items to keep it and refuse to send it back. She then also resells it even though she put a complaint and got a refund!

I am now worried as it is over £300. I sent the buyer photos and everything and it is all clear. I even sent her photos in the chat again and asked her if she’s happy with it before sending. I kept her updated through the process and I’m worried she will scam me. Vinted usually takes the buyers side too.

She has received the item so let’s see what she does. Maybe I’m overthinking but she’s got a few reviews like that as a buyer.
