Hi I am asking this question on behalf of friends who are too upset to address this themselves. They live in Qld and recently put in an offer for a house which was agreed by the seller and due to be unconditional on 8th June. My friends have received a phone call today from their conveyancers advising the sale has fallen through as the sellers now require a further $15,000 in order to proceed, this being the 10th of June and two days technically after the unconditional date, although the conveyancer's advised they were told this on the 8th June. My friends cannot afford the additional $15,000 so my question is this; my friends called the conveyancers at close of business on the 7th June and all was good to go - if the sellers then called the next day on the 8th of June to advise they want more money is this technically within the agreed timeframes i.e can they (the sellers) change their minds on the unconditional date? Also when a contract is deemed to go "unconditional" based on finance and buildings approval - can it also be because a seller wants more money on the eleventh hour? Sorry for all the questions my friends are real Aussie battlers with not much money and as this was to be their retirement home this has really upset them. Any help in terms of shedding light on the term "unconditional" would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.
