As you say, you just need one person to love your house and it is game on. After all you have been through, I'm sure you deserve some good luck and hopefully that person will turn up very soon.
Thanks for that. I wish you all the luck in the world selling your properties.
And me ha ha!!!

Scary stuff isn't it? We have our surveyors coming on monday afternoon. Not sure what they will do but they said it was a basic survey. I don't know where to start regarding all the 'to do lists', so i've done nothing and just keep reading BE

Our viewer that came for the 2nd time on wednesday seemed keen, i just let him go around by himself. He said he wanted to check we had enough land down the side and round the back.
Went to see EA yesterday they said he had seen 2 for the 2nd time and would give them an answer on friday as to which one he wanted. So will find out today if he wants our house! Soo stressed

Hi Lorna,

Don't despair - it shows your house is saleable - and now the competition is sold too.

As Beth said, we are all in this together. We have been on the market since last May and have one failed sale behind us and only 1 viewing since last October... We have to believe it can happen or it won't..

Just rang my EA and told them to drop another £10k off the price, and they said NO!!!!!!!!!
So we will leave it as it is for another week to see if anyone books a viewing first.

Don't give up Lorna. You've got to be positive

Had another EA round today. Actually he was really nice. He gave a good valuation was quite gushing on how lovely he thought the house was.

The company that do the HIPs through them only charge £250.

Got another one this evening and then we'll be making a decision.

Well we thought we would drop because we were over the 300k mark before so stamp duty is nearly 10k so i think we have done the right thing........only time will tell.

That's what ours is like. I think they are trying to stop property prices sliding We are waiting to see what happens this week and then tell the buggers they will have to reduce the price or else we will go with someone else who will.

We had a letter from a new EA - who I notice is selling another house in our village. They seem to have a different approach. I might get them in for a valuation to see what they say. No harm doing that.

Sending Ks for good luck - if it lets me - there must e a buyer out there somewhere!

Good luck Janine. £250 is about the cheapest you can get, so that's an honest price.

I'm sure you have. It's a psychological thing - people hate paying stamp duty.

Hi all

Where's all the house buyers gone? There's loads of houses up for sale in our area so why's no one moving - its like stalemate!

We had a second viewing on Wednesday, but they haven't even got back to the EAs, so I guess that one's a no goer.
We are really pleased that we seem to be getting the viewers through the door, so will just have to keep waiting for the Spring when apparently people suddenly buying houses (ccording to our EA)

Good luck to everyone for a lucky weekend, its supposed to be nice weather again

Hi Lorna, really sorry you missed out this time, did they say why they haven't picked yours?

Have you changed EA I think I saw it in the paper the other night with Jan Foster or are you with someone on Chilly Road do you mind me asking who you are using. Would you reccommend them?

We have EA coming Monday to take pics so hopefully will be on market soon.

Hopefully you will get some viewings this weekend

Best of luck

I found it very difficult telling EA's the decision its like telling people they didnt get the job I left that bit to hubby.

Just hope we have made the right choice.
