this afternoons viewer (yes i know i didnt tell you but it was arranged last minute!) arrived with half her extended family in tow
she asked all the wrong question (well wrong from my point of view) and they went around the house doing things like checking doors closed and what sort of insulation we had (seemed very put out that we didnt have a combi boiler for our central heating/hot water )

anyway feedback from EA was that she liked the house and has gone to confer with her family and will get back to them in a couple of days.

i am taking this to mean that we will never hear from her again

ok got to go again for a bit - will be back later

not been on for a while - look what i've missed, breastfeeding amongst other things House sale wise bugger all happening - not had another viewer since first one week or so ago. Lots of people seem to slow down, stop and stare but no-one wants to view
How long did everyone leave it before dropping price?

We're all in the same boat. I think it was about 3 months before we dropped the price - but it hasn't helped.

We wish we had a combi, left a beautiful boiler in our last house, inherited a crap one in this house............. To replace it have to replace all the small bore pipes. Decided to sell before we got as far as doing this!

The thing is we are getting the viewers at this price, it is the area so not sure that £5-10k is going make much of a difference - if someone doesnt wanna live in this area they wont pay anything for it!

Whats the competition like?

LOL!


dont really want to rent - going to make finances VERY tight when we get to oz - but might have to

Have you looked at remortgaging to an offsetting BTL?


were they the ones with the sort of pop up/flip up spout? we still have a couple of those in the cupboard - ours have little pictures around the sides.

Yes they have a pop up spout - bit smaller than a water bottle. They seal really well and only leak if toppled when open.


see above


the house looks good
i know that i am 'up north' but heck the prices are expensive around you
