It's all happening on the house front
Well just to let you know folks we have had an offer on the house today, ridiculous one 15K less than we wanted, we told the estate agent what we would accept, (politely 
) and they have told us they will call back tomorrow :scared: we are getting excited now.
We also have another offer outstanding but they are waiting to sell thiers so we could be waiting for them forever.
But the first couple with the ridiculous offer, have no chain they are currently in rented and have their mortgage in place.
Looking good for March/April
Or are we building our hopes up too much???????

Our first offer was ridiculously low, but we kept at it. Selling is a pain in the ass but the thought of Oz is a great tonic.
Good luck

Thanks Pike,
Where are you headed?
We have been at this for about 2 years now and have to say the worst of it has been selling the house. Hopefully over with soon,
I have decided to ring the manager of the firm and ask him if it is a definite offer and if so may go out on my own for a few weeks to see the place.
Cheers

Hopefully brisbane on skilled pr visa, have been trying to sought this out for 8 months now had problems with tra now instructed go-m to act because if it is left to me another 8 months would fly and i'll still be in the same place. It will be worth the phone call just incase.

Re: It's all happening on the house front
Fingers crossed they come up with a good offer for you!
I was told by my agent (prob talking out of his a*se) that people don't get a firm mortgage offer until they've had the survey done??? If he's really talking out of his fav orifice then I'm seriously gonna kick his in the morning!!

Anybody thinking about moving to Australia should think twice about it. www.savethesheep.com will give you information about how there are 82 million sheep in Australia at any given time that have been partially skinned ALIVE(called mulesing) without an anaesthetic! Is that the sort of country you want to be living in?

Re: It's all happening on the house front
Hey they have come back with another 7k offer now, they are only 8k short of the asking price, we have called their bluff and said give us an extra 2k and we have a deal.
I wouldn't mind but we are getting a brand new front door tomorrow (£600) and we told them we are leaving all blinds and curtains (no use to us!)
Have we made the right decision, or should we go back to them and accept the offer, as it is a buyers market, and we need to be there by May
Come posters lets vote on it
Shall we take it or hold out for more, it your decision, come on help us out.

don't get me wrong, we aren't going to australia loaded and the extra few grand would be absolutely great, but how much longer will we have to wait for another buyer? just want it done and dusted, so i can see where you are coming from... australia april/may, just has a nice feel to it!
best of luck, hope it goes really smoothly,
