HI ya.

A question.

How long did it take to sell your house in mother England??
MY partner is becoming frustrated because his house has been on the market for 3 months and so far, no takers.

All replies appreciated.

Well mine took about 20 minutes! Found out I was going to back to Oz with work, walked into pub that night, mate said he'd buy house. Simple (but very lucky!).

My nephew has just immigrated. House on market in Apr07, sold Dec 07. Sensible pricing, nice area, nice house, no reason for it - very frustrating for them.

Hi,
I work for an estate agent and at the moment the market is slow, very slow, lots of people putting there houses on the market ( mine also in next couple of weeks) but unfortunatley no buyers out there. We have lots of people wanting to buy properties but they do not have buyers.
We need more FTB to start the chains going, but they can not afford the interest rates.
Know if any one wants a nice 4 bed detached close to the sea let me know.

Put house on market May 2007. Accepted an offer end of June 2007. Buyers pulled out end August 2007. :curse: Been on the market ever since. Reduced price by £50K by December 2007 . Just starting to get viewings now after a complete lack of interest over the Winter.

Put house on the market 06/02, emigrated 10/02, sold 02/03, exchanged 05/03. Wish it hadn't have sold for a few more years really!!

The nice thing here in Aus is there are no chains. Bloody marvelous.
