Sometimes the biggest lessons in property come from the deals that don’t happen…
For the last few months, we’ve been working towards what we thought would be our first major project.
We were around 90% of the way there.
Finance was in place.
Our professional team was ready.
We’d invested countless hours and were on the final stretch towards completion.
Then, right at the final hurdle, another buyer came in with a higher offer.
The sellers made the decision that was right for them, and unfortunately we lost the property.
Of course, it was disappointing.
But only for a moment.
Because that’s business.
Instead of dwelling on it, we picked ourselves up, opened Rightmove and started again.
Within 30mins we’d found a property with even more potential.
We had two viewings this week, carried out our due diligence and have now submitted an offer, we find out next week whether it’s been accepted 🤞
Looking back, I don’t see the last few months as wasted.
Far from it.
They’ve given us an incredible team around us, strengthened relationships with brokers, solicitors and finance partners, and put us in a much stronger position than we were before.
Sometimes a door closes because a better one is about to open.
Whatever happens next week, one thing is certain…
Mudge & Co. doesn’t give up.
We learn.
We evolve.
We keep moving forward.
