house selling getting harder
My mates are going to NZ and cannot sell their 5 bed house, so they are going to rent it out.
I,ve given hubby a good nagging (don,t worry he,s used to it)
as we have a business friend who may want to buy ours for his dear mother!!!
Go and see him today I sweetly advised because if we have to sell through an estate agent then it may be another 14 years before I get back to Melbourne!!!
So I,ll see what news he comes home with tonight...
Cheers

Hi
We aren`t sure about our house, not that we are going anywhere at the moment. but the neighbour had his on the market a few weeks ago and now the sign is gone. just our luck the twat will decide to stay. but our area houses either go quick or take forever.

Oh God, a whole new stress awaits!
We are looking to put ours on this weekend. Does anyone have any good "nationals" they have found to be good.
ho hum, more sleepless nights await me :scared: :scared:

We are desperately trying to finish off all of thoses annoying DIY jobs so that we can put it on the market in a few weeks. We hope to sell it by the end of Summer and possibly move into rented for a couple of months or just go!!
You can always check out your neighbours properties on the net, my neighbour was selling and took the sign down so I looked up the agent on the net and there it was - sold.
good luck to everyone trying to sell, it must be a nightmare.

Hi,
Not the same here in Scotland, We are just picking up on the property boom, 2 ladies in work are trying to buy and cannot get a house without it going at least 20k over the asking and that's for a 1 bedroom flat.
Houses are being sold in a week.

There is a buyer for every house. Just keep believing that. It took us 8 months to get a buyer for one house but we are now going through the motions with that sale (with an over cautious first time buyer!)
while at the same time selling the second house it has only just gone on the market 3 weeks ago.
Unfortunatly the market has changed somewhat to what we were used to only 18 months ago not enough houses for demand
That is why we are attempting to sell before the visa is granted. If it all goes pear shaped then we will have a deposit for another house. (Don't want to think about that though!)

After rubbing shoulders with the dreamers you could be right , many a dream has turn to a nightmare in the land of broken dreams .
Right now I shall enjoy the fact those coming are 20% worse off and the jaded returning are 20% better off given the exchange last year, 100k GBP is now worth 80K GBP and failing.
Give it a another interest rate cut in the UK and bingo the 2-1 rate we got coming is possible , nice to know interest rates in the UK are as always less than here , the differance when came was 4% higher here and could be again soon.
