Re: Dropped The Price
We spent 7 hard years and a lot of money renovating (EVERYTHING new and all that was original was the bricks and floorboard joists!!) our old house in the UK only to have to sell for £30k under valuation as we HAD to get goin! ... 
Wishing you the BEST of luck! ... I know how you feel!

We're in same boat, fly out on Saturday, having to leave house here on the market, great fun trying to find money to run two houses! What can you do? Will leave it on the market till late summer and if no joy will have to pull it off and put some tenants in as it's gonna cost more in rental out there than what I can get for my stunning house here in the lake district - no justice!

I hope that it sells really soon. I am dreading the time when we have to sell our house. I think it is going to be a bit of a nightmare.

I would be pulling my eye lashes out if I were in your position but you seem to be holding up great. I really hope you get a buyer soon, you damn deserve it

Re: Dropped The Price
Buyers market. Harsh reality is that no matter how "lovely" your house is all the potential buyer is looking at is getting the biggest discount. With the money saved they can make the house as "lovely" as they want. Not sure EA's can do that much. They cant force a person to buy. Think of it like this People get very aware of their cash when the market is in free fall. Its all about every pound they can save. When the market is rising they will spend anything just wanting to get on the ladder.
There was a poster on here, year ago I think they post on the NZ forum now, called wheelsofsteel see if you can find some of his posts - he knew his stuff big time about houses. You may find some info there to help

we are really pi**ed off with everything that involves the house just like you. we have reduced and are thinking of reducing again in two weeks when the new EA puts the house back on the market. its so frustrating:curse:
I am sick to death of answering the same question every monday morning "any viewers, any luck over the weekend". i know that people are genuinley interested but I feel like telling them to f**k off
good luck

I really can understand your frustrations, I feel TOTALLY the same :curse:
I too am sick of hearing 'Since Your Property Has Been On The Market, 65 People Have Requested Details !' bla bla bla, stop quoting figures and do your job !!
Since my property has been on the market, I have had to ring the agent 4 TIMES to tell them that the details on the web are WRONG, and low and behold, our house is in the local paper this week with the new price and the details have gone back to the old ones
What the f**k do we pay these d**kh**ds for, 1.25% for the shear fun of it !! I could spend that money on getting my dog to Oz or paying my car off.
Arseholes !!
Hang in Becs, good luck to all those waiting (especially Beth !!) and those who have sold .
Donna.
