We now have 1 viewing this afternoon, 3 viewings booked for tommorow and 1 for Mon!!!.......this could however be to do with the 'chat' i had with the EA about how desperate we are getting ( we have less than 4months to validate) anyway will just have to see if anyone puts an offer in, we have a good idea of the amount we are looking for.
Anyway, hope it all turns around for all of us!

Don't know if I mentioned it, but a while ago I got in contact with the National Homebuyers just out of interest and they sent all their paperwork asking for a valuation fee of £695 or could have been £795. Anyway I thought b******x to that and didn't bother anymore, then they rang and said valuation fee gone down to £99, still thought the same and didn't bother. Today got a letter making a formal offer to us for the house. It is very very low.......£609,756......but am really tempted. Was up for sale initially at £750k now reduced to £675k. No EA's fee to pay and they pay up to £1k legal costs, they can complete quickly too.

Just spoke to OH and he immediately said no but then when working it all out with the fees etc, that is about £18k and then staying here another 6 months or more with high mortgage payments and bills for this house.

Don't know what to do, are they true to their word, does anybody know, what do you think? Help

Hi Ic, any joy yet (with house offers, I mean)



Good luck with your next viewer




Ni Nicky

Thats less than a 10% drop on your current price, I'd certainly find out more from them, as it sounds like most buyers are taking about that percentage drop on prices anyway.



Keep those viewers coming, hope an offer follows soon



Congrataulations Tina, only £5k less, snap their hands off!


Right, I think I've caught up now, I go to work and come back and have pages to catch up on!

Our buyer now has his mortgage offer and we are hoping to exchange next Friday and complete 2 weeks later (he wants to complet in 1 week but we're hanging out for 2) and then hopefully flying out week beginning the 9th June (but I'm still not booking anyhting until we know we've exchanged)

Have accepted the offer but have stressed we will keep it on the market and if they start any funny business and try to get us to drop at the last minute I will pull out. Never thought when I put in on the market last December I would have to drop £25K £25k could have bought us a car each So if your in Adelaide and you see a Essex bird in the Oldest old banger of a car you have ever seen it will be ME

FA hope you r feeling better now, Im sure evryone on this thread feels that way som times. Sending you a big hug

IC any news from you yet?

Sorry if I have missed anyone xx

Well I have had one viewing since I changed EA, they also went to view next door which is 13k under our price
Not heard anything back from them so I will take it as a no.
Good news is that OH company said they will wait for him, so we are alright on that one. All I keep thinking is if the sale had not fallen through we would be leaving for OZ this weekend

Oh well we will get there adventually, fingers crossed lets hope for some more buyers soon

We had 2 viewers in the first week both keen to make an offer but they have to sell theirs. Nothing since

Never mind, we are off to Portugal tomorrow for a week, so going to forget about it for a while

Good luck everyone
