Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi Wolfman,
I'm in Cardiff, yes! AngieK, Suesk, SparkyWife and BethandAndrew on this thread are all in South Wales too. Seems like the housing slump has hit us the hardest.
Did you know there is a South Wales meet every month in Cardiff? The next one is on Sunday 24th. We'll all be there moaning about our house sales or lack of. You should join us.

Another viewing tomorrow, couple are renting in Cardiff and want to move into area, so fingers crossed. EA told me last night that the average sale goes through after 12-15 viewings !!! this will be our 11 or maybe 12th Ive lost track. Advised us not to drop the price yet as we are getting interest, just not from anyone in a position to do anything about it:curse:

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
(I am actually being serious here, older folks sometimes can't make quick decisions and are entrenched in their routine, so it is perhaps a longer process for them. Depends how old they are though - if they are in their 60's they should be pretty dynamic still!!)
No i didn;t know about the meet, and would love to have, but we move out of house next Friday and fly on the 4th march, from Bham as thats where rest of family are, going to do our final farewells.

Sounds like you should sell - lots of viewings and interest. Hopefully those people who haven't sold will sell soon and they might come back to you. I bet you don't need to rent it out in the end.
Where are you in the Vale? We have friends in Trethomas and Cowbridge.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hello all,
There's not a lot happening with me at the moment. I've signed of the details of the house, sounds quite nice actually, makes me quite proud of it
Interestingly the house that just up the road from me is now proudly displaying SOLD. Completely different house from ours, down side to it. Busy part of the road (I'm in the sought after end ), tiny garden (I've got a huge one), small bedrooms (mine are big).
So if someone's going to buy that, surely that's good news for us Plus it was only on the market for about 4 weeks.
Good luck to everyone waiting for people to come back to them. Let's hope the phones are red hot today with people wanting to book viewings

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Great thanks
Sale still progressing, survey done, waiting for searches now. Buyers still seem really keen, have everything crossed that this is the one
Have even started looking at shippers and planning a holiday on the way to Oz. Work have lined up a replacement for me (haven't handed notice in yet!) so all in all, we will be absolutely gutted if this one falls through....
Fingers crossed

Well kids off this week so had to read about twenty pages to catch up as don't get on computer. We had 10 minutes notice on wednesday for a viewing I had kids everywhere and guess what he asked for a second viewing with his partner last night. So waiting for feedback, OH thinks they will offer but I am not getting hopes up. They have no where to sell!
Fingers crossed.
Flyaway - I am sure OH will be fully recovered soon, at least they didn't ask for expensive medical reports. Hope you hear from your viewer soon.
