Angry Selling house and neighbours decide to build conservatory!!

I'm flamin gutted!

Our house has just gone on the market and when I got home work work yesterday hubby casually mentions 'next door are getting a conservatory fitted!!'. Bloody hell thats all we need while we are trying to sell! This means building work while we're having viewings (sorry 'IF' we're having viewings!), losing a lot of sun in the garden, plus the garden looking even smaller than it already is!! Shit shit shit!! (sorry!)

Please wish us luck guys - sounds like we're gonna need it!

our neighbours had a conservatory fitted about three months ago, it was a bit noisy but nothing major. Try not to worry too much.....

Sorry to hear that, maybe you could put up a trellis to screen it with some climbers? Good luck with your house sale

Good luck in selling house, I personally hated every minute of selling ours had surveyor round yesterday so hopefully thats it for us.

Best wishes for a quick sale

Thanks guys!

Think I need a glass of wine to calm me down (or two!).

Stressing out like crazy tonight about everything! Hubbys second redundancy board sat today (he didn't get it in July) and we find out tomorrow if hes been successful! If he gets it then he walks away with about £25k - if he doesn't get it he walks away with nothing!

God this emigrating lark is just stress, stress, stress isn't it!! LOL

Hope its worth it when we get there!

Goodluck with the house sale. For us selling our house was the stressfull part of the emmigration process. I hope you get a buyer soon, cash with no chain would be good.

look on the bright side - it just might work in your favour. your buyers might think to themselves "yeah, thats cool, we'll get one of those!"

maybe

Good thinking!!

Maybe I'll ask the Estate Agents to add it to the particulars!!

"Room for conservatory as per neighbours!!"

Here's some Karma for selling houses, tolerating conservatories and successful redundancy!



got to spread it first
