Thumbs up House up for sale, it's getting scary now!!!!!!!

Yes, today ours went up, we havent got the visa yet, but have received communication stating they are just awaiting our medical all clear.

It seems very weird and a little scary now that the house is up for sale. As I said to the missus it is real now!! :scared: :scared:

Anyone else get this feeling of apprehension?

We were hoping to be out there for January fingers crossed

[Hi Dicko,

My house is going on the market in the next couple of weeks. I am just hoping it sells really quick. Not got the visa yet, had my meds done today, but feeling really excited.

Good luck with your house sale and keep us posted.

Sue

Know exactly how it feels mate.

We got our visa in June, immediately put the house on the market..........and even now have not been able to sell

In the meantime have lopped £20k off the asking price but still nothing doing. The housing market in Cornwall has completely stalled for several weeks now. Prices are not falling though.

Have remortgaged to release some equity to allow us to get moving. Now need to decide whether to leave it on the market or rent it out right away.
If it doesn't sell after a few months we would have to rent it anyway.

Best of luck with your sale.........if it does look like going on a bit consider if there is anything else you can do.

Hi We have got the first of three estate agents around tomorrow

We are the same as you, still have`nt applied for visa yet! We just thought that how things are going at the moment with the market we would rather sell a.s.a.p and take a chance :scared:

Good luck Sue2

Ours went on the market 1st Sept, quite a few viewings, no decent offers yet, sending meds tomorrow.

Just picked up a little old banger to run around in for a few months, now got to sell the main car. Business up for sale next week.

Oh God this really does feel scary and real but also sooooo exciting.

Good luck everyone.

Hiya Dicko,
Yup am feeling very apprehensive now. Meds booked, house been on the market 13 weeks and only had 2 viewings. Well agent says more but when your mail is still on the floor and they have done a late afternoon viewing, doesn't add up really. I know post is crap but not that crap. Have a new agent coming out tomorrow, may have to drop the price for a quick sale as we want to be away as soon as we get visa. Hope all goes well with next stages.

Ours went on the market at the w/end.

So far...... silence.

Just tumbleweed blowing about.

sob.

That's it - it'll never sell - we're stuck here.

etc

that wasn't what i needed to hear (although - congratulations, by the way ), I need to know that 5 days of silence is not that unusual.

Please, someone, tell me that it'll be OK....! :scared:
