Hope our surveyor is like this - if and when we ever get one! Couple from Wed ' loved the house just what they were after'.............but.......garden was too small
Agree with earlier posts that I reckon we have a couple of weeks to get buyers or we'll be waiting for the new year:curse:
Bummer but hey ho what do you do?

What a blow about the garden. At least you know what it was that didn't work for them. On the plus side, they may not find another house as nice with a bigger garden, so may come back! Fingers crossed.

Yup, I'm sure we just have a couple of weeks and then it's dead. Next week is half term here. Don't expect many over that time, then when they go back it's all Christmas orientated............

We have a viewing tomorrow - I just hope it's 'the one'. As otherwise, we're looking at the spring too.............

I'm rooting for Santa to send you a buyer too! Not quite sure they'd fit in your stocking unless you have very big feet....................
