Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Good luck with your viewing today Tiggs - have you managed to scoop everything back into cupboards / up the loft etc. Bloomin buyers, I bet you could swing for them right now! the same thing happened to us - we had 4 weeks of making a mess, packing, selling furniture etc and then the buggers pulled out.
just wish i hadnt let the housework slip quite to much ...
t&g: good for you for going over no matter what happens with house, good luck with viewing. things have a habit of sorting themselves out in the end
ive managed to get estimator round this afternoon to talk about shipping, so we'll see if we can cram it all in a 20ft container, i hope so because i'm not paying for a 40ft

we told the estimators that we were ONLY paying for a 20ft container so to tell us how much they thought we were over by so we could cut it out.
One said we should fit (at a push) and the other quoted us for a 20ft and a shared container for what we were over by - WHICH IS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR
(they were far too expensive anyway )

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Morning W2BT! 
Good luck with the estimator. I'm dreading that bit. We have TOO MUCH stuff.
Hope you and your OH feel better soon. It's so damn stressful isn't it??:curse: How about a weekend away to escape from it all??
I'm running around like a looney cleaning again as we have a viewer at 12. Just hoping he is 'the one.' Unfortunately he is a Surveyor, so he will see all the faults in the house!
Good luck with the kids - ours are off next week for TWO WEEKS. God help me if we have viewings then! 
Have a good day!

Ours went on the market last weekend - was in Yorkshire Post - had requests for brochures but no viewings yet - feel a bit peed off as its a fab house in a lovely area and they never come for sale up here!!! Argghhhh
Spoke to EA this morning and he said prob will be next week when we have requests for viewings - feel worried though.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
good point ..
Thanks!
house is looking quite tidy - just need to tackle cleaning the kitchen/utility rooms now (could take some time)
Sounds like hard work..... I just open the door to my utility, say this is the utility - then shut the door. LOL.
11 weeks :
TOO LONG eh!!
they are not cash buyers unfortuntaly but they already have buyers for their house and are part way through the process - so they need to move fairly quickly (according to the EA anyway)
just wish i hadnt let the housework slip quite to much ...
They sound promising..... I know how you feel, I work on the messy house = viewer theory BUT it's a bugger when you have to clean all the mess up!
thanks!

Actually, it's quite sensible as our school won't entertain 'inset days', instead they add them onto the half terms. That way at least you can plan!
Morning everyone

Sending K's to everyone in need (BE forum permitting, it's always telling me i can't give K???

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Well.... today we have had a phone call from a rather peeved EA because I gave them 2 weeks notice, with a nice paragraph about how I am sure they will do their best to shift the property before then . He wasnt happy and started wittering on about his advice to drop price - I told him we were dropping with new agent. That shut him up! (didnt mention that new agent was easier on the eye)
5 mins later I get a call to say they have a viewer! wahooo between 3&4 today I have all the kids off school so going to see if i can at least get rid of two thirds of them, makes house feel somewhat bigger
Fingers crossed and karma needed, she has no chain (already sold her house) and wants to be in before Christmas - lets just hope she likes it eh?

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
That's SOOO yesterday! 
Fingers crossed and K sent for the viewing! LOL about making the house seem bigger......
LOL at EA you binned. Yah boo sucks!
PMSL - just drag the sale out if DH is insistant!
I never thought of that. OMG how many people looked through my window when the house was a tip...................
Well - my viewer just left. Old guy - 60's, what he wants a family house for on his own I don't know BUT he LOVED IT! Unfortunately, he hasn't sold his house
. Said the usual guff about not needing to sell before buying - but they all do and then they find out what it would cost!
He said he'd ring me - don't know why??? Just hope it's an offer!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
sorry fly i didnt mean to forget about you:
I know, I was very upset!
how did your viewing go?
Very well - he liked it - not sold though.
really dont think we'll have time to get away together, but i'm taking the children and going to stay with my sister for a couple of days next week, needs a bit of support shes separating from her husband feels like i'm deserting her when she needs me most
Your poor sis. Hopefully she'll be over the worst by the time you go. Not very relaxing for you though!
omg 2 weeks mine are already arguing
I've only got one, so arguing doesn't happen - just boredom, wants me to play all the time. Really hard as I work from home.
amazing how a viewer magically appears when needed Isn't it??
