Congratulations. I reckon I will celebrate more when we sell the house that when we got the visa.

Hi Julie

Well done, congratulations.

Still not had many viewings for ours so we are speaking to the agents today about reviewing the price. It's getting really frustrating having the visas now but not being able to go until the house is sold. Just have to be patient for a bit longer I guess.

Enjoy your champers tonight, best of luck

Julie,
Just found this post. Fantastic news for you both. I will tell sasha later when she is back. August time frame for you now. I will have a few beers tonight for you. Hope your nails are still OK.

Hi congratulations!! We accepted an offer on our house this weekend too. We just need the visa now, also hoping for August as our buyers have already sold and have people waiting to move in.

Congratulations Julie

Now just get onto the agents back and make sure that everything is pushed through asap. We also were on in october and have sold twice and lost our buyers twice through the chain breaking down. Our buyers are still interested but it was the buyers lower in the chain who pulled out. I dont mean to sound negative I wish someone had told me I made the mistake of not getting onto the agent and solicitor regularly.
I will send you some karma and wish you all the very best of luck
