I hope so, I'm getting bored of this. It really is one hurdle after another. I really thought the house bit would be easy. It's in great condition, new kitchen, new bathrooms, everthing that opens and shuts, but not so much as a tickle so far. Being very impatient now I know but hey !

Sounds promising for tonight.
New to this house selling game, so tell me, can't the people who haven't sold their house, make an offer on yours, get a bridging loan and move just as quickly as someone who has sold ??

Yep......this is possible.......
To be honest.......if I wanted a house bad enough......and didn't want it to go to anyone else......then I'd go for a bridging loan
However some people can't get a bridging loan. They may not earn enough to borrow on two "mortgages" or in some circumstances they can't afford to pay back interest on two properties / loans
Hope this makes sense

You mean you have to make repayments on the bridging loan? Can't the bank just roll it over until you sell the house?...probably a stupid question knowing most banks !!
Doesn't sound like much of a bridge to me, just 2 mortgages !!

Yeh...the banks will gladly "roll it over"......but somehow or another thay'll make you pay for the priveledge of borrowing from them....with interest!
Basically......you borrow......you gotta pay........and with a bridging loan you don't know how long you'll end up with two houses on your back
Makes sense?

I used the supply & demand rule of thumb.
If there are lots of people interested, then the price is right
However:
If loads of offers, then maybe too low?
If no offers, then maybe too high?
You know what's reasonable or not.....so hang in there and tell em to nak-off until you get something reasonable.
I've got that whooshy wand out for yer and everything's crossed

They are obviously trying it on. If they have viewed twice they are keen, and perhaps just a bit daring. Mind you, I think I would do the same. You never know someone may be that desperate to move they accept a silly offer!!!
Wish we could get a bloody offer on ours.
The latest feedbaxk is that the second bedroom is too small ( It is 12 foot by 9 foot)
baring in mind above it is a bloody 14 foot by 12 foot loft conversion!!!

The agent said he's on their case and will get back to me this afternoon. He said that they haven't anywhere to sell and all their finance is arranged. They're obviously chancing their arm which I don't blame them for but hopefully if they are serious we can come to a bit more of a sensible number..........
