So sorry that it didn't work out for you!

What next?

they rang 10 minutes ago to say there were bids but none were serious

but they said they will chase up people at the auction and maybe get a sale!!

yeah right i wish dont know what we are gonna do now....

Have a blo*dy good drink I should think!

Really sorry to hear that gerry, I'd been hoping for a bit of luck for you. Let's hope they can chase someone up tomorrow

Sorry it didnt go. Hope something comes up for you soon.

cheers just gotta think of some more options/plans??!!!

SHIT....sorry to hear it. Was hoping it would go well.

yeah so did we!!

now we are just argueing with what to do as we thought the auction was the answer to a quick sale....

Now the auction is out of the way (so to speak), can't you have a go with one of those companies???

they dont offer enough though we want minimum 100k they were ofering 85k ish

its on the market at 120k and was valued at 140k!!!

its doing our heads in now although it has only been on the market 4 and a half months it seems like longer!!

i am worrying now that we are gonna come stuck with a property so to speak that may drop in value big time soon with all thsi stuff going on about morgages and market crashes etc

Gerry, really gutted for ya mate, was thinking about it most of the day, wishing you would be on here later with the 'yipppee were on our way', what will you do now, how much under the asking price did you say that company offered you? are you in a position to be able to accept there offer, I know we all want as much money as we can but how long will you be in limbo for if you dont sell and start living that dream. That Homebuyers company got intouch by phone with me today and offered me £125,000 instead of the £170,000 its up for on market, I really dont want to take it but I have a sickening feeling in my stomach I should, cos who knows how long we will have to wait and if the market is going to get even worse its so friggin scarey at moment,

Sorry Gerry,

Youve answered what I was asking, you must have been sending your post as I was sending mine. If its any consolation house prices are staying put in Perth and some are being reduced, Refresh my memory, was you going to Perth

yeah going perth wa..

we have worked all our debts out roughly and we owe about £68k so anything after that is good but we want to get on the market over there or at least get over and be in the knowledge we will be ok for a few months til we settle.

just dont know what to do now....

We're trying to sell at the moment, it's been on since January and we have had 8 viewings and nothing. We are actually changing EA next week but got a feeling that we will end up renting ours out. To be honest, I'm not convinced it's the right time to sell it anyway. The prices are rubbish here at the moment and also even if you do sell and take the equity, the exchange rate is pants as well. I can see us hanging onto it for a couple of years or so and trying again (although selling from Oz would probably be a nightmare too ) Hope it works out for you soon Gerry

yeah the renting route has gone thru my head too!!

but we then have no money to get to oz
