I'm glad to find someone else who is selling their home BEFORE the get visa approval. We keep thinking we are mad! :confused: We have an 'Open House' this Saturday, so we a filling skips this week in a desperate effort to declutter.

Well done on selling yours. I hope it all runs smoothly. :)

Sorry about your dog, we have had to find a new home for our cat as he will not be coming. The new owner has said they will rename him before they take him to the vets. We call him Scrag. His new owners surname is Spragg. Imagine the vet shouting "Scrag Spragg" in the waiting room. :rofl:

:rofl:i know plenty of people think we are mad but i would rather sell now then worry about having visa and having to hang on here until we are sold. Anyway if we dont get visa we will just buy another house so we are not really losing anything. I would do what is best for you. we will save far more money in rented plus the housing market is slowing . Good luck with selling yours too hun xx clare

Congratulations :thumbsup:. We have had ours on the market since may and had no interest yet. The market seems to have slowed a bit here and a large number of 4 beds came on to beat HIPS :thumbdown:. Not to worried as we haven't even applied for visa yet. If we sell and rent somewhere we can £500 a month on the mortgage though.
Hope you find somewhere for your dog. We had to let our springer spaniel go last year and I was heart broken. We do get regular updates from the new owner so that helps
Hope your new life in OZ goes well

thanks jools can i ask how long before completion you started looking for a rental?? EA told us not to look just yet could take 12 weeks does this sound right?? There are only 3 of us in chain, us at top our buyers and their buyers are first time ones. Dont want to leave it until the week before to try and find one. x clare
