Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Just finished most of the cleaning. She'd better turn up now!!
Oh no, what a pain that you've had to reduce again. You must be going mad waiting. Hold tight now for a few weeks, things do seem to be moving around here - so there should be a knock on effect to you soon.

Hi Beth, we reduced ours last week and will probably reduce again this week, we saw cars looking this weekend, but no call from the EA this morning to organise a viewing

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
We may totally slash the house price just to sell the bloody thing ( been a long 9 months on the market already!!!) and basically just cover the mortgage, and then move into a rented house until August to make up the money we will lose by selling cheaper.
At least this way we can pick our date to fly without the worry of a buyer pulling out last minute!!!

We have a plan!!!!! Our visas have to be validated by October.....so we would like to move in August (so the girls don't have to start the new school year in UK).

Hope your sister's party went well. When is she leaving??
Good luck to you too Tracy. Hopefully people will be ringing the EA today for appointments. Like I said to Beth, our EA said first time buyers are biting now, so the market should start to move and chains set up.
Sending Ks if I can for good luck:
(Our viewer hasn't cancelled yet - just got the playroom to tidy and I've finished - not sure if I want to do that yet as it will be the death knell and she'll cancel.)

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Sounds like a good plan! Don't forget to factor in the legal costs etc. We had the same plan - move into rented while we wait for the visa, doesn't seem to be happening.

So......more tears to come again on fri and sat!!!
I have never cried like I did saying goodbye to my sister........it was like a funeral!!! But I have to go through it again another twice now.......so this is a bad week for me
I don't know how people can do it myself.......I physically broke down in the pub........really hurts inside.
Glad my mum decided that we should get together again though before my sister flies........I think she decided that when my sister and I were hugging each other, crying and screaming 'I love you' to each other outside the pub....LOL
My hubby had to take me to the car while my sister had my mum.......bloody awful it was!!!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi guys thought I'd join this thread as have started reading as now joined the realms of whinging pom house seller. House only been on market a week and had six round and a one who came round twice.
Have three kids so really hard to keep the house tidy. Spent a lot of time since september painting and decorating everything and it looks great.
So now the frustrating bit, thought waiting for the visa was bad it's only been a week and am fed up with this already. Still have no choice. Haven't told the EA we are emigrating but simply moving 'away' into rented (which will be true).
Anyway good luck to allfellow house sellers, fingers crossed for us all.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Evening everyone,
Well, the phantom viewer turned up complete with baby in arms. Just spoke to the EA and she loved it! She wants her husband to see the house and said she'd ring back to make an appointment. Apparently she's seen loads of houses and has only gone back to one. We'll have to wait and see if this happens.
Trying to forget about it now and concentrate on the viewing on Saturday.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Sounds like the decision is made for you. Sometimes fate gives us a shove. So you will be bunking with your bro then? Will you fly out as soon as you have your visa? Have fun moving - AGAIN

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Well that all sounds promising for you. At least people are actually looking now so that makes me feel better anyway. will wait and see what EA comes back to us with......hopefully more viewings would be perfect.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Oh well thought I'd join you all in the none house seller thread.
My house has been on the market since Nov 07, had 3 people view it. One lady put an offer in stright away, but it was 22k under the asking price, declined offer. Had another couple who r really intrested, but they have only just put there's on the market. Haven't had any other viewing's for the last 3 weeks. Just want to go now.
Congratulations to everyone who has sold there's in the last few weeks. Lets hope some more sell soon.

Hi Emma and welcome. It's soul destroying when yu just want to sell isn't it?? I went to a meet yesterday and every person there had their house on the market and had, had little or no interest. We haven't had a viewing since October, but have 2 this week, so hopefully, things are picking up. Fingers crossed that you get some more viewings soon. If someone made an offer, it means that your property is saleable. Have you got your visa yet or are you still waiting?
