We've been on the market since April. Changed Estate Agents once, reduced the price twice, had one offer and then he pulled out. We go in 3 and half weeks leaving it unsold. :scared:

Hmmm I know, tell me about it. We bought ours exactly 2 years ago and have done loads of work including putting in central heating. I didn't really want to take such a low offer but we were offered £20k under the asking price 2 months ago so this one seems quite good in comparison. Houses are just not selling round here unless they are bargains so needs must :(

Been on the market for 3 weeks. Two viewers. One this week seemed really interested - but they've told the Estate Agents that their furniture is too large to fit in!

Spose its a nice way of saying our house is just TOO SMALL !!!!

Still I keep trying. As we live in a cul-de-sac (who invented that phrase!!!!) you don't even get "passin traffic!" so everytime a car comes up the avenue we leggit to the window to see if they look interested.

This is stress at its greatest! :confused:

Ours as been on the market almost 5 weeks, we have had 6 viewers ( brill ) all interested but all have to sell their house first ( bummer ) fingers crossed all it takes is for one to sell theirs and hopefully they can buy ours , so i keep telling myself anyway.

i got to say that option is starting to appeal to me the only downside being of course that we wont have the cushion we would like when we get out there and of course deposit for a house when the times comes to buy. Hmmm :confused:
