Default Going, Going, Gone

Finally sold the house after 21 viewings in 3 weeks. After the first sale fell through. This time first time buyers with lots of cash. We had 6 offers last week but wanted someone with no chain and cash to spend. What a relief. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed and get everything done quickly, so they don't have time to change their minds.

Thank you all for your support and advice.

Great news, a tip for you, send in utility bills, community charge, any building work certificates, basicly as much as possible to speed up the Solicitors, they would only request it anyway, so help the process along.

HTH, I did the above and sold to complete ended up being 8 weeks

We live in Stanford Le Hope and our friend in Corringham just sold their house through an agent called Quirk Denkin, they had loads of people through the door. They tried Bairstow Eves first but had hardly anyone.

The telephone number is 08000 323252.

Another good one is Newhaven, they have just started out so are really trying to impress, another one of our friends has their property up with them 01375 640101.

Hope this helps.
