Congratulations hope this all goes well sending you some Karma.

We have heard nothing from the people who came round for second viewing on saturday so I am going to forget that one. EA says people are looking three or four times and also putting in offers on more than one property to see which gives them the best deal. I am so fed up with keeping things clean and running around after three kids. Got another viewing at 4.30pm. My house smells like a brothel as littlest knocked a bottle of contradiction onto the utility room floor which is stone and the whole thing smashed!!!

Heres hoping that the wqeekend brings lots of eager buyers who are in position to move.

Been out most of the afternoon on retail therapy with daughter numero un (she has a half day on Friday) so sorry to see you're all having such a depressing time - apart from Betsyboobs (YAY!!! FOR THE CHAIN COMING BACK TOGETHER!!!)

C'mon ladies - we'll get this sorted - who gives a gnat's chuff about whinging friends, family in denial, bloody estate agents & everything else?

If it's meant to be, let's make our dreams happen

Bloody pathetic bunch of whinging pommy house-selling bints - let's have a little motivation in here

Hi Maisey. Sorry that you are having a tough time. Our house has been on the market for 9 months, (God I could have had a baby in this time!) and I am sick of cleaning too. We have a viewer tomorrow and I'm scrubbing again. One day it MUST pay off. Good luck with your viewing - it might just be the one. Maybe they like brothels??? (If you're worried, just tell them what happened - it'll break the ice.)

Hi Jen,

Could you go and give pep talks to the viewers please?? We WANT to sell our houses. They just aren't sure what they want..... :curse:

Hope you had fun in the sales - I am not buying anything ever again until I get rid of the stuff in my 20 foot storage unit, my 27 foot loft, my 17 foot shed, my 4 built in wardrobes, plus all the furniture etc in 3 properties.... can't start clearing any of this junk properly until we accept an offer and can mess the house up.

Well have just checked my messages as EA not turned up and guess what they cancelled at quarter to four - cheers for that all that wasted effort for nothing. Didn't even have time to go to supermarket to get stuff for kids dinner. Working this weekend so that will take my mind off it, no viewings booked so OH can relax I suppose.

OH NO Maisey.:curse::curse: What utter barstewards. They would have been crap buyers anyway if they behave like this. Sending you some Ks if I can for better luck.

Sparky wife

That's awful Maisey ...sending you karma for a decent buyer to come your way soon.

JenniGee

Shoot them. And threaten to castrate the EA if it happens again.

I really feel for you, trying to sell at the moment, it really is a buyer's market & as such, some of them just take the p**s

Try & enjoy the peace & quiet twith OH his weekend & with luck, someone will pop up out of the blue, just as you're about to have a norty bubble bath together

Percentage wise we've knocked 11% off the original asking price now
Still no viewers
Next week will go to 15% and see what happens

Hi Beth,

It's terrible isn't it? We've reduced by 12% from the initial valuation a year ago. We even put it on the market at less than the figure the EA gave to encourage people. Fingers and toes and everything crossed for a result soon. You must sell sometime.

At least you have the property company offer as back up. Which company was it who gave you the best price? We had a couple quote but they offered less than the auction reserve we were quoted.

They are : www.qcfp.co.uk
Haven't tried any others yet though.....but something has to happen in the next few weeks before we leave

Thanks Beth!

I clicked on the link, put my details in and they phoned back 2 mins later. Said they would send a pack and get back to me with a valuation next week. I dare say it will be insultingly low, but hey ho, you have to investigate every avenue.

I'm sure that something will happen for you. I have seen so many people sort out a sale at the last moment. We aren't in that position yet - still at the, well we might not get the visa's stage, so we haven't made the big push. Once we pass the meds, we will be at that stage!

Sending Ks for good luck if I can.

Hi everyone, sorry I have not been on here much but the time lag makes it difficult and enjoying the sunshine.

Dave starts work on Monday for a pool company while he does the remainder of his electical course, crap money but chilled job.

Can't find a house we like (mainly me) at a price we can afford

Good news is there are hundreds to choose from so one will turn up

Still loving it, things I miss marmite, sausages.

Family and freinds but you can buy a card from the post office superbuzz for $20 and it gives you over 30 hours talk time to a landline in the uk

Would I come back to the uk, NO!!!!

Speak to you all soon.

Virtual Karma to you all, they will sell, you only need 1 buyer

Hi Somme,

Great to hear that things are going so well! Hope you find a house soon, you fussy bugger

The market is picking up here, so hopefully we'll be out there with you before you know it!!

somme

I will try and put off our trip to adalaide untill you get over here, so bl**dy hurry up

You are right I am a fussy bugger

Fly Away

Thanks Hun. I will try to be as quick as I can - although OH has given up hope and taken another contract on. It can be broken if we sell the house though.....
