To sell or not to sell
Hi everyone,
i need some advise........we have just sent our diy TRA and decided to start tarting up our house ready to put it on the market (if we pass TRA).
I told a few people we were thinking of selling and........Sunday night a lady knocked on our door and asked if she could have a quick look at our house. she told us she was a friend of our next door neighbour!! she looked round and liked it. I checked out with my neighbour who she was and all is good.
Last night she came back with her husband and asked how much i wanted for my house. I made up a random figure (more than its worth by 5 grand) and she accepted!!! She rang me today and has instructed a solicitor!!!
I know it all sounds to good to be true!!!!!!
So do i go ahead and really keep my fingers crossed that we pass the TRA or do i think sensibly about my family and realise this is really silly of me???
AHHHHggg i am stressed!!!

Re: To sell or not to sell
Just sell it. you will be more stressed if you get your visa and you cant sell, and your dead line gets closer. Many of us cant sell our properties, and its stressful. if you have the opportunity, and you are fairly confident that you have the right trade and points to get in, then SELL SELL SELL

Re: To sell or not to sell
Yes, I'd recommend selling.
This house selling lark is rubbish at the moment. I've had nothing but timewasters and nonsense offers since I put the house on about 6 weeks ago. I can't believe that I didn't sell last year, but oh no, I had to be cautious in case I didn't get my visa - and now it looks like I'll be down by £5k already.
Stupid housing market.

Re: To sell or not to sell
Yes sell it. If by any chance you don't get your visa then you will be in a really good position to buy somewhere.
