Thats very steep we were quoted 0.7 to 1.0% for sole agency but managed to do a deal and get them down as EA we went with was the higher one, so doing for a flat fee.

We have a viewer coming at 3, been busy all day (well since 10 when the agent rang) cleaning and tidying, this house is immaculate

We know he has a hosue to sell, but it's our first viewer and I don't care, it is a start

Thanks for this, I can't belive it took all day to clean and tidy the house for him to be in and out in 35 mins. He seemed to like the house and had lots of positives to say, but what a divorced man with grown up kids wants with 5 beds is beyond me He said he might want to come back with his son who is a surveyor.

Although on the positive side, the house is only 2 years old and we bought it brand new, we knew when we bought it that there were others after it but we sold our house first and got it, now this guy wanted to buy this house back then, so that might be a good sign.

The bad news though as soon as he walked in he told us that he thought this was a buyers market, so we think he might make a silly offer that we will not accept.

Ohh well we will wait and see.

That sounds good (in that he wanted to buy it before and is looking again) but if a buyer said that to me I would be tempted to plonk them one :curse: . Hope he doesn't do the silly offer thing...sorry if you have already said, does he know you are planning to emigrate?

That must be so frustrating for you Gonnago, although seems strange how nothing has been mentioned about the drop kerb since...

We havent progressed for over a month now its driving me potty - everytime i call my agent he calls me back to reiterate what i have already told him:
What buggers!! You know they are saving hundreds if not thousands of pounds by delaying. We had a buyer on one of our properties like this once. We agreed a good price for a quick sale. Then the sale dragged on 5 months for no reason. We told the EA to put it back on the market but unfortunately we had no other offers in the mean time and he got it cheap plus we paid the mortgage for him for 5 months.:curse:

That sounds very promising!! Hope he doesn't make a silly offer. I shall come round with a big stick if he does.:curse:

We haven't heard from our phantom viewer who wanted to bring her OH back. Ah well, that's the end of that. Onwards and upwards for Saturday's viewing.

LOL. I whinged about it so much that he finished the job. Wouldn't have even started it if I hadn't though.

He is taking me out for a meal tonight but he hasn't booked anywhere. I told him that you had to book at the expensive places. Should have seen his face drop

I got a lovely handmade glass pendant necklace from my daughter and some diamond earrings from the OH. He also got me a gizmo for transfering records onto CDs via the PC. This was really something he wanted himself... Last year he got me a sat nav! Never mind, I buy him decent shirts for his birthdays as he won' buy them for himself.
