Hi Boomie,
Think we were in the same boat as you and also the stamp duty fee above 250k don't help. The answer is to hold out for your price which may be some time, reduce to a lower price or maybe keep your property and let it out. The validation trips not a bad idea anyway, although it would prove costly with your crew.

He means he has had no enquiries for your type of property this week!
I think Terry's right about the options.
Fingers crossed for you - we'll be in the same boat early next year

Lisa,
Sorry it's still not sold!!!
We are with your move and also tied for another 3 weeks, had an offer on Tuesday but they havn't sold yet!!
Had a viewing last night and hers isn't even on the market.
It's the same down here.... 3 beds, semis and terraced are going like hot cakes and we have been competing with a new Perssimon development around the corner!!
Your move advised us to drop the price by 5K to compete so we did and it did get us more viewings!!
Will bring our details with us this afternoon to show you and we'll compare
See you later

To everyone ... it WILL happen, I had been tearing my hair out ( my wife is the sensible, stabilised ROCK, that keeps me from losing the plot BIG TIME!) as we had had lots of viewings (20+) and NO-ONE ever came back! Then .. having got back from hoiday, an couple came and viewed, and when the man went straight into the lounge and sat down (!!) ... I got good vibes ... They came back 2 days later, and we 'did the deal'. They have first time buyers buying their house, they are in a 3 bed semi ... moving UP the chain to a 4 bed detached..
I'M NOT RUBBING IN THE FACT THAT I'VE SOLD, just that 4 bed houses ARE going even with new developments going on around us ... Be wary of reducing the advertised price ... the housing market is still bouyant ... how about telling the estate agent to let prospective viewers know that you are open to a reduced offer?? That way you can still haggle!?
Hope this helps ...
