Morning All.

Still no news for me either - Got my telephone appointment with the mortgage advisor today, hopefully we can get it on interest only & save some money, not expecting too much tho - We're lucky enough to only have a small mortgage so I don't think the difference will be much.

I need some advice too - I mentioned before that the recent interest in my house is from a woman who my mum knows - her house is under a compulsory purchase order & she openly told us that she is "very interested in the house, but wants to hold out as long as possible to get as much out of the council for her house as possible" That was 3 weeks ago, should I chase it up? Ring her? Get my mum to ring her? or leave it???
What do you all think? And thanks in advance

Hi KK,
It can't hurt to query if she's still interested.....maybe ask your mum to ask her.
Good luck,

New Duston. We put ours on with Jackson Grundy as they were the only ones who were not stupidly pushy, and they also offered the best rates. We tried all of them but JG seemed the best.

We had Bairstow Eves round to quote and then when we listed with JG they said they couldn't as BE had already listed the property!!! I was fuming and took us 4 days to get them to take it down from Rightmove etc, only worked when I threatened them with legal action for listing a house they weren't allowed to sell.

Really hope yours goes soon. O'Rioridan are very pushy so they should get a result. We didn't try them as when we bought our house 4 years ago we looked at it with Harrison Murray. After we looked at it, O'Rioridan told us they had a property which turned out to be the same house, yet they listed it as £10k more!!! Wasn't impressed with that so have steered clear.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Just what I wanted to hear
Cheers Beth. X X

Tell you hubby - Good Luck with the interview!!
Just imagine, if he get's it, You'll be off
What time will the interview be? I could try sending out positive vibes at the time he's on the phone. Every little helps!

good luck, hope it goes well

Hi Beth

How did your hubby's interview go?

We had our Open Day today for the house - a load of rubbish. No one came...although I don't think it helped that Halifax forgot to advertise it earlier this week. :curse:

Thinking of changing EA's now although we don't have long to sell because we fly out on 26th August. We'll just try anything at the moment.

If its not on at a very realistic price nobody in their right mind will view... Houses have a lot further to go downwards before people will feel confident enough to buy again. The downward pressure on house prices has only just started as a trickle. Factor in mortgage availability and I'm afraid the market is at a standstill.

We've reduced it to £129,995 how much more can we reduce a three bed semi in a nice and quiet area - a house has just gone up forsale at £147,995 more or less the same as ours!!!

But at least the sun is shining.

Apparently we can't advertise with another agent whilst on with Halifax, but we're going to look at some other EA's in the area...possibly something to look into.

It's just so frustrating.

my house is going no were

but we are validateing visas next week

Hi Beth,
I am hoping to move to Perth next year and wondering if my plan will work for you as well as me?? I am considering selling my house for 80% of its full price to one of these house buyers. I will then put my money into a high savings accont for the year hoping to make up some of what i will have lost. I will rent property for a year which will again give me the chance to save a couple of grand. House prices will drop about 10% anyway so in all I will have lost very little but will have the flexibility of leaving next year. What do you think??

You'll probably find someone round your area with a similar house has put one on at a much lower price. This happeneded ours. We put it on a £140k but 2 days later a same style house round the corner went on at £130k as it was a second home they were selling.

All the viewings of ours then dropped off as people said ours was overpriced, and we ended up after 4 weeks dropping to that price to get it to sell. Housing market is rubbish atm!

Good luck!
