Default Oh my god -house sold in 1 day

Oh my god how about this - for sale board went up outside house this morning and the agent phoned this afternoon to say we have an offer on the house already and for the full asking price as well.
I cant believe it sold so soon and now I am sh**ting myself as everything seems to be happening so quickly, and I am starting to have :scared: thoughts about it all.

For goodness sake, how jammy is that!!

Congratulations, I bet you can't believe your luck. This should send out positive vibes to those who are still waiting to sell their house. You never know what tomorrow will bring.....

I'll raise a glass across the ether to you and I feel a par-tay is in order....

It's bloody marvellous but I wouldn't shout it too loud on here, not with the number of people having a bit of trouble selling!

hiya

dont meant o be a stick in the mud but we sold our house in 20 mins and the buyers pulled out on the completion date!!!

fortunatley we had sold before we had been granted our visa so we resold it again straight away and got the cash 2 weeks before flying out

fingers crossed for you
