Deep down I know its the best thing to do for all of us and espescially for my baby boy, even my Mum is pushing us to go for him - having lived in raised children in Australia she is adamant it is the best place for kids and if not the best a darn sight better than the UK!

Like I said I think having viewers just makes it more real to me rather than the dream and I think most people would be telling lies if they said they didnt have a second thought about it now and then.
Just have to focus on the positives.
Darn sunny weather doesnt help either as my garden is lovely in this weather!

Tell me about it, this last winter was soooo depressing because I had a new baby I was stuck in even more than usual, but on the other hand it helped with the new baby adjustment phase as at least I didnt feel like I was missing out on anything!!

Just a quick update from yesterday, with the episode of me having me knickers round me ankle in the loo when a EA rang my doorbell and i missed them. Well i had another knock on my door today from the said company and the man standing there introduced himself and appologised for me missing him yesterday was handed a large envelope, this is our information pack for you to have a look through of all our services etc for you to read before our appointment on friday at 10.30am, as we dont want to throw loads of stuff at you on friday morning and you not have a chance to read through it all. anyways i was pleasently surprised i had nothing like this from the EA i am with at the moment, anyways had a nice long chat with the EA at my door and he did enlighten me to the fact that we had signed with the EA we are with now but they had not given us a copy of the contract we had signed:curse: he said there could be a clause in the sole agency that if they have not sold within the 6 weeks sole agency that we may not be able to put it on for another 2 weeks after it runs out with another EA:curse:


anyways after the EA that was at my door shaking my hand and saying he will see us on friday at 10.30am i got straight onto the phone to our EA we are with at present at asked why we did not have a copy of our contract, the reply was ,"oh i am ever so sorry, we thought you had a copy" well how many more mistakes can this EA make , i dont think they have any idea what the left or the right hand is doing, anyways he appologised again and said it would be straight in the post , well hold on the EA premises is 2 miutes walk away, why cant someone drop it round, i havent heard hide nor hair from them in 3 weeks , would be nice to see they are at least trying to help their clients, and before anyone asks NO i was not going to go round there and pick it up myself , 2 reasons,

1. why should i do there job for them
2. my twins have been of school today sick so wasnt going to put them through being dragged up the road because of their (EA) mistake

anyways if this clause the prospective new EA mentioned is on the contract i will not be a happy bunny at all:curse:

if its not then its all systems go to getting a few more EA interviews.

have to wait till i get the contract through the post first though before i will know so either tomorrow or friday, just in time for prospective new EA to turn up

:curse::curse::curse::curse::curse::curse:

Right, I've had enough of my bloody EA.

House down the road from me went on the market about 3-4 weeks ago. House more or less same as mine apart from 3rd bedroom is slightly bigger than ours, they've turned their garage into a room so therefore no garage.

Location for theirs is not good. Opposite at roundabout, next to two busy main roads and also opposite a police station. Mine is on a tree lined cul-de-sac.

ITS BLOODY SOLD.

We didn't even get a viewing. In fact we've had no viewings from this EA for about 6-7 weeks now.

I don't know whether to sack them or not. I may well be cutting off my nose etc.

Oh btw viewing on Saturday was a no-goer either.

ahhhhhhhhhh so sorry to hear!!!!, was the property down the road with your EA and do you know what there asking price was?

i am in the process of changing mine as the EA we are with at present has done sod all, not 1 viewer in 4 weeks not 1 phone call in 4 weeks and in the local rag once in 4 weeks,:curse: also found out today they hadnt even given us our copy of the contract,:curse: we are going to go multi agency this time around, as a lot more clued up on the whole EA and selling business now.

I say sack him, it makes you feel so much better and you should have had that viewer too:curse:

Hi all

I have missed loads of pages and tried to catch up but pretty impossible on this thread.

I have no news or viewers at the moment but new hunky scrummy EA is hard at work. All contracts signed, glossy brochures being printed now, in 3different papers from this week and went down the town today and there was our house right in the middle of their shop window. I feel totally relaxed now about selling because even if we don't, at least we know that they are working for us I think that is the problem for most of us, the fact that like O2O you don't know that they are even trying:curse:

In our local paper this week it is saying that in Herts the houses are still selling and the market has just stabilised a bit but is expected to get better shortly

Just heard from DD2, the one that has already left, and so far she has been to Thailand and done Tiger Temple, floating markets and tomorrow going elephant trekking. Travelling down to Malaysia the day after and then on to Singapore in time for their flight to Perth on 26 May. Lucky things, wish I was there

Hope everyone is OK

Mmmm, I may just have to phone them tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind.

Good to hear that our EA seems to be doing the business for you.

Wish I was your DD2 heading for Perth on 26 May. Sounds like she's having a great time.

Michell hi, did you know if a company you employ ie; your EA has NOT provided the service that was promised you can infact write to them with your complates and tell them because 'blah blah' you will no longer be using their services that way you can get out their contract as they have to do their job and if not their contract is void!

Bad news about the stinky viewers.

Good news about the next lot.

God, I'd kill for one viewer let alone two on one day.
