This house selling games a load of crap. I thought the most stresful bit would be getting the visa but that was a doddle in comparison.
Try not to get too despondent. Sending some good luck karma.

How are you finding the market in the NE?

I seem to see for sale signs up for longer than say 12 months ago? Has it picked up again?

Fingers crossed.

It's really poor round here at the moment. However, saying that I have noticed a few for sold signs popping up here and there. Was talking to a friend at the weekend whos house has been on the market for over a year and they have decided to take theirs off. The house they were wanting to buy has now sold. I've only had 3 viewings since February, one of which couldn't be a***d to look upstairs because they actually want a bungalow Why look at a b****y house then

I rang the estate agents at the weekend to discuss dopping the price. I asked what they thought I should drop it too as I'm looking for a quick sale. They suggested £25,000 I want a quick sale, I don't want to give it away.

August is looking less likely by the day. Never mind, will get there eventually

Anyone living in the Bolton area, check out the B.E.N this Wednesday (25th May).
Today we've had a reporter round and photographer due to the fact we are now throwing in our prize possession an AC Cobra (replica) in with the house sale.
We have our visa's and are soooooo desperate to get moving we hoped this quirky idea will get our property noticed. We've had our house up for sale since Feb and not one viewing. We've even dropped the price but no takers.
So, as we are not able to take the car with us (costs too much to import) we would have had to sell it anyway, so hey that's the price we are willing to pay for a sale.
If the story gets put on the newspapers web site I'll drop in the link on Wednesday so you all can have a good nosey!!

Good luck Charlie, hope it all goes through smoothly for you.

We've got a cash buyer coming back for a second viewing on Saturday, keeping everything crossed that they put an offer in.

Here's hoping
