Super news!! this house selling business is a nightmare!! as i write i am waiting for a phone call from the estate agent to dicuss reducing the price of our property in order to try to shift it!! the market seems unbelievably dead to me but his advice would seem to be that if we don't pull out all the stops for the next six week period then it is back into the tradidionally slower time of the year!! house has been on the market since last october!! depressing isn't it? anyway well done to you and all the best with the rest of the Sidney plans!!

That is fantastic news and one giant hurdle out of the way!

We have had our house on the market for the last two weeks and got an offer this morning! Fingers crossed that it doesn't all fall through. I am so looking forward to being in your shoes.

Best of luck

We're in a similar position, house has been on the market since January, I have just had the agent phone and suggest a price drop. We have agreed to drop £7.5k, but I have a sneaky suspicion it isn't going to make any difference. It seems like everyone around us have decided to sell, there are loads of houses and no buyers.

At least we still have time on our hands!

Congratulations to you ianduggan5! Go party! :PARTY:

Congratulations!!

We have just this minute had a photographer from the estate agents round and our house will go on the market next week.

Let's hope I can post something similar in a few weeks!!:PARTY: :PARTY: :PARTY:

Congrats we are just starting to decorate so should be going on the market end of June, But after reading all the negative post`s of how the market is slowing down I`m not really looking forward to It. Any way all the best for the future.

Maybe they're not negative but realistic. Better to know the real situation, surely, than just go on hoping the market hasn't gone stagnant?

Cheers - Don
