Sorry, I'm having a bad day, I'm not very well and I can't see us being able to sell for a while. Hopefully we will hear something soon - one of the properties is in a different county, so the property market is different down there. Although, we've only had 1 viewing in 2 weeks... AGHHHH

Good luck Beth
A good point that someone told me is pester, pester, pester the EA's and guess what its starting to work. I told them that if I did not have any viewings then I was going to give them there 14 days notice and change EA's and look I have now had 2 viewings set up, I also phone on a Monday and Friday. They will soon get sick of me and sell my place.![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

The daft thing is, we are probably very lucky by Uk standards, if we didn't want to get out of the country, everything would be fine....

Thanks Jen and Sparky w for the Ks and nice words. I am sitting here with my lemsip and my OH who is coughing his guts up and DD who is streaming with cold and we all feel very sorry for ourselves.![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

It just doesn't feel that way sometimes & I have to give myself the old virtual boot up the backsy to remind myself it could be far, far worse.
A good conversation with the solicitor always helps, of course

Hi there all, our 2nd viewing people have not come back to us (they were through the dodgy EA) and nor have the EA told us what is going on. Both of us want to ring but don't want to sound desperate so will leave it till tomorrow now. We also try and think of all the good things we have and we have just spent all day at Mount Vernon with my husband on the tail end of chemotherapy. All looking positive and that is when we give ourselves a reality check.
Good luck to all with those prospective buyers, just off to fold the toilet paper corners and iron the duvet covers!!!![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I know what you're saying - that's how we feel. We are lucky - we've sold out, got our money in the bank, great kids..... really we're much more fortunate than other families who are trying to emigrate.

Everyone has something which is particularly hard for them in this process. This must be our 'thing'. Your's will probably be the legal stuff.

Most people don't even have this chance in life, so we are lucky for even being able to qualify for a visa.

Glad to hear that your OH's treatment is nearly over. As I was just saying we are all lucky really - you must be more aware of this than the rest of us. hopefully your sale will be quick and smooth - one less thing to worry about.

I think you're well rid of the other 2 EAs. At least you got to see who was any good. imagine if you were with just one useless one.

Well, we just had the highest offer yet from one of those buying companies - still £190K UNDER the asking price. :curse: But they will pay £1000 legal fees. So that's OK then.![Roll Eyes](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Didn't expect a fortune, but they are really taking the mick. It is £65K under the auction reserve price too. Might end up doing that if we can't sell. A property opposite is up for auction today, so I might check and see if that sells.
