Hi Sam, hope you sell soon!!
Sooo Sorry Kapri, that sucks
Gonnago, think it is a ploy to drop the price :
OLD AT 41Could defo go off you
Hope you had a good time, about time you sold isn't it
Not got the house, yes they did exept the offer and then we found out it was on a flood plain back to more looking![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
House prices are dropping here due to the increase in interest rates, so although we lost a lot in the UK looks like we may gan here.
The exchange rate is awful, we have just worked out that if we sold the OZ$'s and bought £'s we could make 60K sterling
, but not coming home for that ![Stick Out Tongue](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
It is lovely here but may move on somewhere else, thinking of buying a campervan and having a look about, wish we hadn't shipped all our stuff now, but heyho we did and it should arrive this Friday![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
How is Tiggs doing anyone?

Haven't heard from Tiggs since last week. All seems to be going well. House purchase going through OK.
At least if you put your money in the bank you get more interest on it than in the UK while you wait for prices to drop.
![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Yes it is about bloomin time we sold - will you get the viewers to make an offer please.
![Sunglasses](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif)
Take care and have lots of fun.

Here i am!!!
cant keep up with this thread at all!! not to mention the emails and pms![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
hope everyone is ok have i missed any good news?
gonnago have your buyers sorted themselves out yet?
fly away - is it this week that you are trying to sell three houses?!
somme sorry the house didnt work out for you - at least you found out early - have you seen anything else?
As Graz said the vendors have agreed to move completion date forward so we dont need to find temp accommodation - all we need to do now is find out what has happened to the container with all of our furniture in it - we still havent heard if it has arrived or not!

Nothing much happening my end. Had a viewer arranged for yesterday 10am so got up early to do house and then they didnt show :curse: Phoned EA and they contacted them and said that she drove past early in the morning and didnt like it being on a busy road!!!!! She could of rang and cancelled was very annoyed but had a tidy clean house ![Sunglasses](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif)
Am thinking of dropping price again another 10k, so that would be 30k in total :curse: But this would take us under the 300k mark so hoping we will get more interest as stamp duty will be alot less. Will speak to EA later.

We are thinking of dropping our price under the next £100K threshold too. So I can completely understand your thinking. Our EA told us not to last time we mentioned it, as he thought the market was starting to move and it wasn't a price issue. BUT he doesn't want to emigrate does he????
![Blink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif)
I am really thinking aloud, but I wonder if it is worth trying an offers over approach. You know - really an auction. I have no idea if this is a viable idea.
![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Hiya Tiggs and Graz - glad that you have managed to sort your homelessness problem out!

Morning all
Glad to know I'm not the only who irons the duvet whilst it is still on the bed, folds towels just so and generally goes around the house like a looney![Stick Out Tongue](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Haven't quite got to the point of folding back the toilet paper but give me time.
I've even been buying lots of fruit to make the fruit bowl look good and then telling of my poor hubby when he dares to eat it![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Can't believe the rudeness of some viewers from reading on here, not turning up and not even bothering to cancel:curse: We haven't had that yet but I would be well cross if we do.
Haven't heard anything back from our viewers at the w/e so I guess they were not interested, apparently they were seeing several others.

Well have decided this is definitely what we are doing. Will wait for OH to come home from work then give them a call. I do think the stamp duty puts people off so will give it a go.
Fly away that sounds good about the offers above....... anything is worth a go isnt it. We fly 6 weeks on Thursday so getting v nervous now about house![OhMy](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/ohmy.gif)

Yep, I put all the toothpaste, brushes etc away so no one can find anything!
There's the "show toiletries" that are on display but no one is allowed to use them. Bit like the fruit that no on is allowed to eat until not good enough to display anymore![LOL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif)
Even worse, its like this all the time, not just when we have a viewer as last week someone wanted to come with 10 minutes notice and I just can't do it all in that time
So now I want to keep it as near perfect as I can all the time!(Bloody bugger then said he didn't have time to come after all:curse![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Bloomin viewer who wouldn't wait a few hours to view. He would have been a crap buyer anyway. Our buyer who dropped out was like that. She would call at 8pm to say she was coming at 12 the next day as she was in the area, (they lived 100 miles away). Then she flamin dropped out after all that palaver.

Well just had feed back from saturdays viewer - They said they loved the house it ticked all there boxes even more as they did not realise the extra big storage room, they have a cash buyer for there's and are just confirming the price with them and they will then be in touch with us![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Also got a first time buyer coming round on Wed pm
hopefully it might start a bidding war ha ha![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

Hope everyone else gets some more viewings this week, glad we knocked money off the price seems to have worked- lets just hope for no silly offers.
