We've sorted out two 'power's of attorney' already.
We were planning to rent in Aus for a year anyway.
Good luck with yours

Hi Sue
whereabouts in St Albans are you ? I'm in Napsbury. Our house is going back on the market today after being off for 2 months. We had 7 months off it on the market with lots of interest but no sensible offers.

Re: house sale nightmare
We've had our visas nearly a year now and only one viewer for the house so now thinking about getting a different estate agent and possibly putting it up for auction. Has anyone sold theirs by auction?
It's so damn frustrating.

Re: house sale nightmare
yep good thinking Chaval.
its a dilemma isnt it?
Dont get us wrong, we dont live in a crap area, and we have a lovely 3bed detached with 30ft double garage and extensive landscaped gardens... even our agents cant believe we havent sold it... its just the market (Im blaming the Footie @ moment...ha ha!!)
Yeh the Sheilas Wheels advert is another advert which 'rubs salt' in the wound to us in limbo-house-selling land, isnt it?
In a perverse way, good to know others in same boat... but optimist in me says the karma's gotta change sometime eh?
over and out for now. Lynd & Dave
