Brilliant, our buyer decided he didn't want to buy our house That's what you get for giving friends first choice!
We now have a valuer coming up on Friday, so hopefully she will be giving us good news.

Re: House prices .... on the up again ...
we did that too, we offered first choice to a couple of friends who were really keen, then when it came to the crunch they didnt want it!! so we ended up selling on the open market.
