House Sale.

House Sale.
Hi All,
Just a quick one to say, today we put the house on the market !!!
We have received acknowledgement from DIAC but awaiting File Reference Number, we have explained all to our estate agent and told them that obviously if we receive an offer, all is pending on answer from Oz.
Are we being a little premature ?? We would like to think that we will have def answer by April, does this sound about right ?
Good news about it is, we have underestimated the value, £10,000 more !!!
This will come in very handy. Although we cannot guarantee we will get this for it, it's nice to know we may make more
OMG, how much money these people charge to sell your house is shocking, we have £2600,00 to shell out just to sell, :curse:
When do you think we should start the wheel moving properly, i.s selling items off etc, do you think we wait for the answer first ?
Any comments, as always, would be great !!
Thanks
Donna & Pete.

Re: House Sale.
It does get you down, your not wrong there !!!
We have the option to go to my parents or the hubbies parents, so not too bad really, although the dog will have to go into kennels, unless I can persuade my mum to take him in aswell !!!!
We are haing to re-home our cats though, that isn't going to be easy, but if we do move soon, I will have to get things in motion for them
Where abouts are you off to ?

I haven't heared of ANYONE selling their house around our way where the buyer hasn't tried to drop the price at some point, no matter what their reason for moving.
By the way, you are doing the right thing putting it on early. The market is slow and at least if you have sold you don't have the last minute panick of the house as well as everything else.

Re: House Sale.
You should decide for yourself if you think you should tell people. Personally we did and had one couple pull out the day after we accepted the offer as we told them we could not afford to move to Oz for a penny less than what we had agreed on, so if they tried to drop the price, at any stage, no matter what the survey said, the house would be back on the market. So for us it worked much better than not saying as we would have wasted months, and missed out on the buyer we now have. Our buyer's Mother told us they had to pull out as they couldn't afford the offer they had put in, 'as you won't drop the price.....' We had already refused the lower price they offered but they had been planning on that all long.

Re: House Sale.
We didn't tell any buyers we had a time limit, just that we were moving to Oz, and needed £xxx and would stay in the house rather than drop below that amount.
It is getting a bit tight with our buyer at the moment. We start a course on 4th Feb, but have not told our buyer that. He knows we are going to Oz and would LIKE to get there asap, but we haven't told him we have a time limit (to avoid last minute price drops). He said he wanted the house back in August and we have only just got as far as the solicitors!! We have told him we have booked the dog into quarenteen to try to speed him up, but that we would not book the flights until we have sold. It really is a pain in the bum!!
