Had some friends round last weeek who seemed keen but said it's out of their range. Think they will go for next door and renovate that.
So, I dont know what box I will tick. Just sick of the whole bloody thing. Was supposed to be in Oz for the end of August. Since this whole malarkey started y eldest daughter has decided that shes definitely not going. My middle one told me the other day that shes not going until shes finished her GCSE's (shes only just started them). If I'm here for much longer I'll be going on my bloody own
. Already gone from 5 to 3 going.
I will not give up though

Seeing as there was no "go round and kick the estate agents arse" I have opted for no offers yet

Re: How is your house sale going PartII
Everything seems to have gone dead round here....!!
No houses selling at all and more and more properties are coming onto the market every day!!
We've been on the market since May and i'm not sure how many viewers we've had - but we're into double figures now - and nothing - Sod All!!!
We've reduced the house price twice and changed estate agents and still no offers!! WTF??
We haven't had a viewing for about a month now and recently i've forgotten that it's on the market, it's been so quiet!!!
Well..nevermind and chin up!!
Hopefully the market will pick up soon and we can all make plans again!!!

Re: How is your house sale going PartII
I have never experienced anything quite so depressing as selling the house. the application for visa was a doddle compared. My last house sold in a week no problems. this time its been horrendously worrying. I have also got 3 houses right next door to me for sale too so maybe thats why it feels worse.
I asked all my god believing friends to light a candle for me at church last week, by friday I asked them to set the place on fire as I need smoke signals up to the the big man now. :scared:
I feel for you all.....

Re: How is your house sale going PartII
We banked the cheque last Thursday. I keep going onto internet banking and grinning when I see the balance. Our new buyer has only been in a few days and when we had a last drive past on Sunday I barely recognised it. New curtains up throughout and a bird bath in the front garden for starters.

But the grill broke and I didn't get it fixed as you can't get the parts. That'll cost her a few hundred quid to replace
(I was going to leave the instructions but binned them so she will probably spend hours trying to understand why it won't work too )

Re: How is your house sale going PartII
This house sellin lark is the pits :scared:
Had a 2nd viewer on Saturday so got well excited. Spoke to Agent today.....and the prospective buyer said what is putting them off is there are a couple of rented properties in our cul-de-sac, and they've had trouble with people in rented properties before!
Words fail me
