Thank god
Stooly's wife here. Just sold our house twice. Decided to go with two agents because the first 1 was pants. The second was 'Andrews' very professional. The estate agent came round Thursday and took pictures and details, details on website and posted out for Friday. Tuesday 2 viewings and wednesday 3 viewing and 1 offer for full asking price. At this point very happy and nervous all happened very fast house has only been on market 30 days.
On Thursday get a phone call from a friend who tells me they want to buy the house for the full asking price and we obviously took her and her partners offer. Then she told me her frien d would be purchasing her home.
So all and all everyone is happy and we are saving £3500, which we will spend on a holiday in france once we sell the house and spend 3 to 4 weeks saying our goodbyes. So hopefully when our qualifications come back next week it won't take long for our application to be proceesed.
NZ hopefully 2nd or 3rd week September, can't wait.

Don't let your estate know you've sold it othewise they'll be chasing you for commission.
Did you sign a contract with the`agent?

Re: Thank god
Well done on selling the house. Hope it all goes well from now on too.
We are about 3 weeks ahead of you (accepted an offer a while ago), the chain is holding together so far.
Please remind me, where in NZ do you plan to go.

We just told the agents we had a change of mind. We are heading at the moment for the bay of plenty. We are have 5 weeks of travelling around in a motorhome before we decide where we will finally end up. My husbands job offer is in Auckland, but the opportunity to work from home is there. He is a graphic designer.
