We are still waiting for feedback from the second viewer. But today's are coming for a third time having sold their house and we are hopeful of another (preferably better) offer.
It seems churlish to complain but the offer we have had so far is from a cash buyer and she wants us out asap. Which means I will have to stay in a hotel while I finish my contract at work and all sorts of other complications. I must be the only person on here hoping their house doesn't sell and complete too soon.
But one way or another it looks like we will be in Australia by the end of September. Brace yourself Perth!

Re: Had an offer on the house
Our buyer came round this morning (with her father) to measure up. I made sure everywhere was tidy as if it was a proper viewing just in case. Good news is that she is thinking of extending (which will annoy our miserable neighbour 
), she is interested in some of the big stuff we are wanting to offload and best of all is actually looking to move in late August herself. So [touches wood] everything seems to be falling perfectly into place.
