selling your home in the U.K
There seem quite a few of us who are waiting to sell our houses as the final step before the big move. Just wondered what options people felt they had if their house really doesn't seem to be selling? Are most people simply tied to having to wait til it sells? or are there other options you are considering?

We have to sell our property in order to buy in oz. dont want to rent it out as this seems to me as a half hearted attempt to go to oz. Plus I wouldnt trust anyone to live in my house and keep it properly.
the profit from the sale of my home will buy us a home outright in Australia. So we are keeping our fingers crossed and I say a little prayer every now and again.

Just my experience ( we're from Bristol too Originaly ! ) but I wish we hadn't rushed to sell our house before moving to NZ - I feel if we'd rented it out untill we'd been here a year or so we would have had more choice if we'd decided to move back. As it is, we can't afford to move back now because of the ridiculous house prices in the UK
saying that, we don't intend to return to the UK, we are very happy here, but untill we got our PR agreed which took over a year, it was quite an unsettling feeling.
where abouts in Brissol are you from ?]

Re: selling your home in the U.K
our house only went on the market on friday, we are confidant of selling (bungalow, they queue round the block) but if not completed for any reason before we go will appoint our solicitor power of attorney and the money will be sent straight over if we want. as it is we may leave some in the uk for a bit anyway, its all those complicated tax issues which need looking into. thankfully we have enough money for the first six months at least anyway, and will be renting initially so determined not to let any prospective buyer push us into a corner!
