FFS. I didnt want to ask how you got on, knew you would post if it was good news.
I have had em all, even had one women who burst into tears when she saw our cat cause she had lost one just like her a couple of years before. She came back 4 times!!! and then put an offer in 30k below the asking
Hope this weekend brings some better viewing for you and the others.

Yeah this house selling lark is doin me 'ead in also!

Had a couple here last week. Really loved our house.
Then they phoned agents next day and said " our furniture is too large to fit in"!!!

What a nice way of saying "the house was a rabbit hutch!"

Thanks we've had 12 happy years and 3 kids later in this rabbit hutch!1
Please....no references to us being rabbits!!!.....but i do have a nice plastic pink one

How forward of you! ...


Selling houses sucks!

Sold previous house 5 year ago (in a boom admittedly) and had 5 - 10 viewings a day till it sold.

NOW THO! ...... 3 viewings in a month! Changing agent soon and will have to do the inevitable drop I guess.

Agent swears the price is right, all agents we got a valuation pretty much came up with the same figure, and of the 3 people who viewed, NONE said it was overpriced, just not 'right' for them ...

Still, a drop will hopefully gain a bit of attention!
