the only move forward is that we have had several viewing, all liking the house but in the end have choosen different locations (ie different towns/villages). Got a few more this weekend plus a 2nd viewing, so things are hopeful, even though we have not yet been on the market 1mth.

Reduced the price, accepted an offer, surveys and searches done and contracts signed, was due to exchange this week but the chain collapsed. Our buyer still wants to buy our house though so we're waiting a couple of weeks to see what happens.

The interest rate freeze should stabilise the market for the time and inspire a little more confidence...............Hopefully!

Ours goes on the market monday.

Same as The A Team they have now put their house on with the same agent as ours so fingers crossed they'll push their sale hard

Gone on the market this week, and the STUPID! F****** tenant I rent it to wants to make an offer.
the Twat won't make any offers other than through the estate agent!
just who the &£*! does he think I am? some kind of con artist? he's been paying me rent for a year! (and my mortgage )

well you could say the 'viewers' so far have been time wasters seeing as they have not even offering to part with their cash. Maybe the next lot will be different, maybe not. I am not aiming to set any records with the number of viewings.
