Hi Corker
I notice you are arriving here in just over 1 month? What are your plans if you don't manage to sell? I know a few people in Barnsley who have had their house up for sale for a while and they haven't had much luck. My brother put his up for sale in April and has just managed to sell now after dropping the price by £30k!!!
Anyway fingers crossed you get a sale soon.

Good luck with everything.

Not really relevant but do you feel you are waiting for goddo or like the tramps in Samuel Beckett's play feel like you are waiting forever for M Godot? (just intrigued by the thread title)

Don't really know what the play is about....I just seem to recall seeing two men sat about for ages just waiting... Thought it was a good analogy..

Yeah, it is a good analogy (M Godot never comes) although we hope this doesn't apply to you. I just had to look it up in Goooooooooooooooogle to remind what it was we did at school.

Hi
My brother lives in Royston and when he put his house on the market his intention was to emigrate to Oz. However we haven't had the best start over here and I think we have put him off (unintentionally because I would love him to come over). He is now buying a house in Cudworth.
We used to live in Brierley and sold at the right time I think.
Looks like you won't have much trouble selling though if only been on market one week and already had four viewings!!!
Good luck.
