Shady Homeowner Loses £12,000+ on the Sale of His House After Trying to Pull a Fast One on Buyers With a Irrefutable Offer; They Find Somewhere Else to Live

Buying and selling homes is a fun chess game played by the rich. Regular people don't play by the same rules in life, so usually we get pushed out of the market, but sometimes, a regular Schmoe gets the upper hand on the feudal land owners trying to make a quick buck on a short sale. When it comes to the housing market, there are some lines that you just don't cross and some rules you just can't break– lest you get your sale snubbed before it ever takes flight.

In this case, a regular family was looking to buy their dream home in an upscale neighborhood. After years of saving and crunching numbers, they knew their budget and were prepared to make a fair offer for the house they would raise their family in. This suburban dreamscape was quickly put to rest when they found out (after making an illustrious offer) that the seller had lied to their faces up front. What other secrets might be hiding in this estate?
