No damage. Although we did feel it here. The bed and the wardrobe doors were all rattling and shaking. My OH thought it was my son getting a drink

When we rang the EA this morning he asked us to wait until later today as he had a family interested who were going to speak to a mortgage advisor, they don't want to look at the house until they know they can afford it - watch this space, rather than cleaning though (Which we need to do as we are still working with the keep messy theory and the house is a tip) we are just sat looking at the phone wishing it would ring and if my dad rings one more time I am going to scream:curse:

Trying not to get excited we have been here before and this would just be too good to be true and the children and I might not be too far behind Jason, which I can't see happening, ohh well. 1st day of Spring on Saturday.

GOOD LUCK everyone,

Tracy
Good luck Tracy. Let's hope they come through for you

Jason told me to go back to sleep initially as it was the wind, not sure why he thought that as it sounded as though someone was trying to open our bedroom door, it was only when I juped out of bed and told him I thought someone was in the house he moved. Must be a man thing

Agree with you there Tracy. Considering my son is only 5 I still don't know how he thought he could have made that much noise or made everything rattle I've never seen him jump out of bed so quick though

I can understand how you must feel. You made the decision to go down under together but you both can't go at this time. I'm sure your time will be soon.

I know about feeling down. I've only been on the market about a week and we've had no vieweings or anything. Apparently EA says because the EPC isn't ready they can't sen out the details. But it is appearing the property paper this week. So hopefully, with a bit of luck we'll get something from that.

Fingers crossed for both of us

RUbbish.....the HIP only has to be ordered before you can market the property, (send out details, board, internet, paper) so your EA is talking poop.

Anyway good luck.

Bushy the EA.

Ours has been on the market for 4 weeks & we haven't got our HIP yet! (it has been ordered & paid for but not done yet!)
Some houses get sold & the HIP isn't even ready

No damage, had visions thou of going outside this morning and there being a big crack up the side of the house but luckily nothing.

Well the couple interested in our house and another have put in an offer on the other property :curse: but it was refused So EA called them again on sunday to discuss our property with them and they are thinking about it. Have just called him this morning and he is going to call them again today and then call me back. Think he is going to push for an offer i really hope so

Think you are right fly away these people need a lot more time to think about what they are doing. They have told EA that this is going to be their last move so they want to make sure it is right. God the other property is on for 30k and area is not as desirable as ours. The only concern they have about our property is that it is on a main road and they are worried it will be noisy!!!!! Its fine thou not noisy at all. Oh please let there be a god and let them put an offer in.......................Anyway should know 1 way or the other today

Morning all,

Janine and Tracey, hold on in there it will happen. I think you're wise just to carry on getting ready for April Tracy. Things might just fall into place.

As Bushey and Tawkins said, the HIP is not an excuse.

Congrats to Tawkins on her visa today!!! Now the pressure is on to sell that house!

Good luck to you all.

I am still waiting for the phone to ring..... maybe going a bit mental...going out this arvo so stuff the lot of them, they can wait!

So glad to hear all is not lost! Haha, that they had their offer refused on the other house. Hope it was at the top of their budget - making yours look a good deal. Sounds like they are ponderers, but being older, they are less likely to let you down if they do make an offer.

Fingers crossed and Ks snt for you today.

I think you're probably right, Bushman. I think it's more to do with him being very conscientious. After all, he didn't want to take a photo of the front of the house until it was the right light

Thanks for the luck, I'm probably going to need it.

Hi Tawkins, he seemed to be suggesting it was the Energy certificate had to be on the details. Oh, well we'll just have to wait and be patient

Congrats on your visa. It' a great feeling when you get it, isn't it

Whereabouts in Perth are you heading. We've bought a plot of land in Jindalee which is next door to Quinns Rocks. 10 mins walk to the beach
