Hi Bec, how are you?
Yes completely fed up with the neighbours actuallty, keep asking whats happening with us (our sales have fallen through 3 times already).
Everyone seems to think that they are a property expert all of a sudden.
We have to validate in less than 4 months, we are thinking that we may have to take 20k less than our original offer....well we are thinking that if we put our money in a high interest account coupled with the money we will save on validation, it may just not seem so bad.
any news on your house sale? Are you watching BBC 2, the truth about property? x

Hellooooo
Well we are finally back on line for what seems like an eternity, but has apparenly only been 2.5 weeks, it felt much longer I can tell you. Although we were on line in the apartment for 3 weeks, it wasn't a very good link which could be why it feels much longer![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
So no news on my house front, other than we have changed EA, they went yesterday to do a valuation, we have the pics that the old EA had and they are going to use them rather than take new ones of an empty house. Although we are hoping they got a better one from outside. Fingers crossed that we will have more success with these and with that lovely Uk weather you are having at the moment it brings some buyers out of the woodwork.
I spoke to my dad on Skype last night who came back from America at the weekend, he still has our dog and while walking him on Monday noticed that quite a few houses that had been for sale a while have sold while he had been away, so he has said that the market looks like it is picking up - lets hope so.
Will one of you kind souls do a quick run down of what I have missed, anyone sold, etc as there is no way I can wade through the amount of pages it would take to catch up with you lot of chatterboxes.
I have noticed that Beth is back
and this is great news and that she is heading to Melbourne too, take it from me you won't regret it Beth![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
It is 9.50 in the morning here, I am sat on the bed typing this, in 3/4 pants and a t shirt and it is winter, when I look out of the window I have blue sky, a couple of clouds but not many and the Briars National Park, it is beautiful.
Well by for now.

Hi Tracy
Welcome back, glad you are enjoying things- house market not changed for most people here though many are in process of changing EA and seeing more viewers! Hopefully that will be the case for you also! I have only seen one 'sold' sign so not feeling overly positive at the moment, though its good that your Dad seen some in your home area.
Look forward to hearing all about Mount Martha

Great to see you back. Thanks for the PM - it was lovely to know you cared - sorry I didn't reply - but I thought you were offline in your new rental.
Glad to hear you are having a wonderful time.

News;
I have odd news - deal with developer fell through and since then we have had lots of interest in the house - funny that eh? Waiting to see if a 2nd viewing comes to anything but have 2 backup plans should it not.
![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Had a PM from Sparkywife this week to say they arrived safely in Adelaide - about the same time as you. Their house sale went through and her OH has a job offer. So all good.
Gonnago got her visa last Friday. YAY!! Flying out the end of June.
Nicky, Icarus and O2O have had viewings but no offers.

Tina lost her buyer due to chain breakdown.

SammyG accepted an offer and the sale is going through slowly.
Wardy2 still has a buyer but they couldn't complete fast enough so poor Kaye will have to validate next week while she is waiting.
ERRRMMM - trying to think who was on the thread when you were on.... I'm sure you have read the last few pages anyway. Apologies to anyone I missed!!!
Great to have you back!

OMG! Karma sent, think you need it. This selling houses business is so stressful. This is why I am not even thinking about it as a possibility til the contracts are actually exchanged!
Keep up your positive attitude, you have to or you'll cry!

you still have until the 31st to resign, hopefully a new buyer will appear instantaneously.
We're STILL waiting to exchange, now about 8 weeks since we accepted an offer. Really hoping to exchange this week so we can book our shippers.

We have a viewing 5.45 today and 2 tomorrow so hopefully the market is picking up fingers crossed.
My St Joseph turned up this morning but I've got to bury the poor sod upside down in the front garden not very nice for a St. My front garden is paved to will have to put him in one of the plant pots or hanging baskets

No we hadnt exchanged, only signed. We thought they had instructed their solicitors to exchange but they delayed and OUR solicitor was on holiday for 7 days last week!!
Think i must have broken a mirror sometime in the last 7 years ( if you believe in all that superstition stuff!!)
During this time they`d seen another house 10 grand cheaper, but didnt bother to come back to us to see if we could do a deal.
Thanks for the karma, trying to stay positive.
