Jan thanks for PM - haven't been on hear a while - sorry to hear you are still waiting to sell.

I think the only reason we are hear is that we gave our house away 35k less than we wanted. Just brought enough with us to have a 5% house deposit hear, paid off all our debts, paid our shipping costs, bought some new goods hear.

Do kick ourselves from time to time, as 35k pounds over here would have gone a long way, but we couldn't stand the UK any longer.

K sent.

Hi guys we are also in the same position, ours has been on 3 weeks now and we just reduced the price by 10k yesterday evening. We had 3 agents round to give valuations and there was a 50k difference between the lowest and the highest!!! We decided to try the highest figure for a couple of weeks and then reduce it to a more realistic figure, but like everyone we need to get as much as we can as we have a large mortgage and need to bring some cash out with us!!! Good luck guys for the sales will keep all crossed to you!

Default Re: when will my bl***y house sell

we decided to go with a new agent starting up we figure that they will be eager to build up a reputation and will push for a sale they are called keystone

as for the values given to us by the agents they all reccomend 5 grand more than what its actually up for we will drop it soon though if we dont get much response

its such a nightmare

good luck everyone!!!

Jan I really do hope the new agents will bring you some better luck! I can't imagine how frustrated you must be feeling.

hi all just an update

here we are 6 weeks on and not a bl**dy sniff of anyone

the estate agent says its because of the new hips packs (whateva or houses are selling) i suggested that the price may be putting people off but he says not they would still be looking and putting silly offers in if that was the case????

my god this is soooo frustrating im starting to despise ever buying this house:curse:
its we just want to be there now
ah well thats made me feel a bit better now thats off my chest

Default Re: when will my bl***y house sell

ours took ages to sell as well, can you ask friends to pretend they are interested in buying a house similiar to you and see what the EA directs them to? I remember watching selling houses program and the presenter said that any good EA should be able to sell houses no matter the market. That gave us a wake up call as all we had listened to was excuses. WE got ours sold 2 weeks after new EA took over. Hassle them. make sure house is immaculate. Good luck

Hi Val,

was going to send you a PM, then realised you had them turned off (sorry to OP for hi-jacking thread for personal message).

Good luck with the house sale!!! Our house has "sold" but waiting to exchange contracts (therefore not really counting it as sold).

If the house is really sold we hope to fly out on 5 August (too scared to book tickets in case the house sale falls through).

Take care!

Gina

Hi Gina,

I haven't got my PMs turned off so fling one my way if you like!!!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you....when/if our house is sold, we're not doing anything until we've actually exchanged.

Still off Perth way?
