Apparently all the banks are really slow at getting offers out but I don't get it - they are not giving out so many mortgages so why so bloody slow.
What makes it worse we were told last week he had his offer and we were set to exchange this week, so was no one going to tell me unitl I phoned up and chased them?
Yeah, too right, our solicitors are so laid back I'm surprised they get into work each day, ah, maybe that's the problem, they don't get to work which is why no one does any damn work!
[QUOTE=steveandtina;6371213]Got my knickers in a twist now!!! and don't know what to do?
Our offer on friday was for 235k from 1st time buyer but we are still waiting for a survey to done.
The 2nd offer was for the same money from 'the stinkers' they have a property developer buying theirs. Now 'the stinkers are coming back tomorrow for another look (stocked up on air freshner) and the EA said they may increase their offer.
Now who do I sell to? I really confused?QUOTE]
[COLOR="magenta"]My gut instinct would be to go with whoever has the most straight forward position and looks like they can exchange and complete the quickest.
Good luck COLOR]
Thanks

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi all, just catching up on what I missed today when my internet was down!
You lot were busy!
Hope you enjoyed your day tracy - sounds like hell.
I'll try anything Jo - my St Joe is on it's way and I'll do the cosmic ordering tonight!!!
Made me laugh too.
I feel for you Sam. This waiting is horrible. Fingers and toes crossed that you hear soon. Don't worry about moaning on here - the house sale isn't over until completion - until then, it's stress city.
We had a viewing yesterday afternoon, last minute and only just received an email from my dad telling us about it, it seemed to go OK and they seemed to like the house, but all feedback to my parents has been good so far, I wonder if the viewers feel sorry for them........ 60 something and being abandoned by daughter and grandchildren...................hummmmmmm wonder if we can work this to our advantage............can't go visit said daugher and grandcildren until house sold, ok, perhaps not, slap hands for thinking such a thing::
Sounding good - I would tell your parents to wring out their tear sodden hankies and look pathetic - it might just work.
BUGGGGGGGGGGGER. So sorry Sam - I'm sure it will work in the end, but ths delaying is just not fair. Don't you just want to strangle the solicitor and the EA?:curse:
You lot were busy!
Hi Fly
Sorry to have been away soo long, should be about more often now, so will hopefully keep up with you lot. I do mean it when I say it is worth it, so just remember that when it gets a bit sh*t
Thanks Tracy.
Any offer would do at the moment even a cheeky one, the viewers on Saturday won't be putting in a offer as they wanted a through kitchen / dining room, they obviously thought that we were fibbing on the literature when we advertise a seperate dining room. Jason emailed the EA last night and told them to contact them again and tell them we will get the wall knocked down if that was the only thing stopping them - how desperate is that
TBH - that's a good move, takes away their excuse and hopefully shows that you are genuine. Good luck. hope it works.
We have moved EA because ours shut down, not a good sign really.
I know - ours has shut down one of it's 3 branches.
Right off now to see what else I missed while BE was off line yesterday, when I had nothing to do, typical that it is back up today, when I have an invite for lunch and a walk by the beach, its a hard life and one you will all be enjoying very soon too

Morning Guys
Had a phone call off Saturdays viewers - they called hubbys mobile and said they were getting theirs valued on Wednesday and would it be ok if they rang him later in the week to come and look in the loft. Call from EA yesterday morning to say that they loved the house, were getting theirs valued and would be able to come back with an offer once they had a valuation - getting a little bit giddy - god kows why though - they poor sods will be in the same boat as us lot once it goes on the market!!! He has talked about deposits etc so we will wait and see. Dave has told me not to get too excited as we have nothing concrete just yet and they havent actually offered. Now I am worrying in case they get one on the d*ck head agents who tried to tell me that ours is worth about £40k less in this market - to value theirs and say they have seen our house - dont want them telling the prospectives its overvalued - if you know what I mean!!!!
Sounding really good - sending Ks for luck. Hopefully they can sell quickly.
This may sound bonkers - but with all this St Joseph thing - what about trying Cosmic Ordering - like Noel Edmonds!!!! You simply write down three positive requests on a piece of paper. Sit quietly and project positive thoughts and think about how happy you will be - you then burn the piece of paper and draw a tiny sun. moon and stars on the side of your hands - a la Noel Edmonds!!!! Worth trying guys !!!!!!!! Will google Cosmic Ordering and see what it says - I just remember an interview with him whre he talked anout it and the effects positive thinking can have - we should attract more positives - hopefully in our case buyers!!! ha ha ha!!!!!
Good luck guys

Hi Nicky
It is a hard life you know, just having a glass of cheap Oz plonk and at only $2.99 a bottle, its not that bad:
Disgusting - we'd never drink would we??
Fly, I really don't know what to say, I am thinking about you and will send you some karma and some (((((((((HUGS)))))))))).
Thanks Tracy. Today I had a bit of encouraging news - we might have a buyer. So I hope the ks worked and I have started to come out of the bad luck cycle.
I like it Jenni, its not funny for fly at the moment but this is an option for and made me smile, so hopefully will do the same

Hi all
Feeling VERY stressed today, waiting on exchange of contracts, was told it would be this week but it has all gone very quiet ..........
Trying to catch up with some cleaning today, have been so busy sorting and visiting my second home (the recycling centre/tip) that the housework has rather been abandoned.
I know I shouldn't moan, on here of all places, but just need to know what the hell is going on and get some control back of our lives. :
Wishing everyone who is still waiting lots of happy nice house buyers with very generous offers:
Sam

Now I really am going to throw my rattle out:
Just spoken to the estate agents as damn solicitors won't chase anything, the buyer does not have his mortgage offer - we were told last week he did and we were aiming for exchange this Friday.
BUT he does not have his offer, he has raised loads more questions and he is unobtainable now for 2 weeks due to his work, so the earliest we are now looking at is mid June to exchange. And that's if we have everything and he doesn't try and stall again, when he first looked at the house the EAs told us they were not moving back to the UK until later in the year but they promised they were keen to have a quick exchange time.
I just don't bloody believe it:Going off to cry now

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
TBH I don't think you've missed too much. I think everyone's just totally fed up with it all at the moment.
Not just all the bloody cleaning. All the palava of getting a replacement hoover on the hop as mine decided to start smoking.
Well, I have sort of positive news.... we have a tenative offer - subject to finance from one of my options.... Offer is OK - not great but not crap. Just have to hope they can get finance. I have been working on this for a month.... I should be an EA!!! keep your fingers crossed for me folks... need so much luck here...
Yep, I can do that for you.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Yep, second that. We have had 3 great offers...all fell through. Thinking now that a more realistic offer might go the distance.............
