I feel sick !!! Land issues !

Well guys, I know you remember the issues we have had with the land but for the newbies here is an update. We live in a small village in England and we bought our house because it backed on to our neighbours land and we rent it off them, we are the last house in a line of 6. This was all great until they fell out and are getting divorced and thus selling the house. We had just gotten the ok for them to sell to us a little bit to us basically the end half and acre and also to our other neighbours as their houses also back onto the land and they wanted some ..for just having some..they don't own animals and it is only for grazing the land not for garden use. Anyway, shortly before we were going to appoint a solicitor for the land sale to go through, the land owner got told that the neightbours close to them would look into thier house if they bought the land but we are the farthest away so presued they would still sell to us. Anyway to cut a long story short the husband suddenly said that he wouldn't sell to us and not the other neighbours so, I got very upset and my waters went early and 3 week later as you know my baby was born very prematurely. Update, there house was on the market for all of last year and no buyers but it has just gone back on the market for £300,000 less then last year...this could really sell this time and I am worried. We have decided that we will call the estate agents tomorrow and ask them to approach the husband offer more for the 0.6 acre of land we are asking for and that we will also pay legal fees and fence it and see what happens...this is our last chance to own some of this land and to therefore secure what happens to our mini horses, we can always put my riding horse in livery for the winter and summer her out back. It has always been my/our dream to own land and I am so stressed thinking about losing the land so I'm just telling you all...anyone who believes please say a prayer for us that he will finally see sense and sell us the end strip. Sorry it's so long and thanks for your support as always. xxx
