Good to come on here and hear other peeps ideas. I quite like the one FA had with remortgage to 85% and take most of the equity, will look into that one.

But you're right, its just like snakes and ladders, we keep getting a 6, but then sliding back down a snake again!

Just spoken to our EA (why do they never call me?) and she said they have never been so quiet themselves, no one is budging at the moment.

Got my P45 in the post today but I am still working as my boss says I can work same hours, same pay on the nurse bank until I go. Strange seeing my P45. Got an email from my new boss in Oz asking if she was being optimistic pencilling me in for April - I had to say yes but reminded her I am worth waiting for!!!
Well our private buyer came this morning with her mum who is just like my mum, loves her garden and does lots of stuff for the church. She seemed very keen, when she asked if we had had lots of interest I said we had 15 viewings,I think she got a bit worried and said she would speak to her brother and consider upping the offer. If she does then this will probably be nearer the asking price so if goes ahead we will technically get over as we save £3k EA fees. Fingers crossed.
lets hope things start moving soon as this depends on her selling.

Fly - sorry to hear you didnt get an offer. Still keeping everything crossed for the other lot.....oh and do send me that link Con isnt too proud to win a prize!

We have just had an invite to the London Expo on 15th march, well I say we, apparently its for Con only and im not allowed to go, I cant imagine him having the patience to go alone, he will prob end up ripping someones head off and being arrested in Australia House and our Visa being cancelled

The girl who answered said that they specialised in developments and had lots of developers on their books. So the Manager is going to phone me back to make an appointment and come out to have a look. 6 months ago, the thought of selling to a developer would have been a definate 'no no', now I just want to sell.

Bad news FA about your viewer. But if you had a bad feeling about him then it can't be all bad

My EA's assistant came round this afternoon to drop the particulars off. I must say the way they do the details now is much nicer then when I last bought a house. Nice colour brochure with a floor plan, ooooh.

Anyway, the assistant wanted to have a look around as well. She thought it was lovely. She said that the market had definitely picked up within the last couple of weeks. Lots more enquiries and people wanting to go on mailing lists etc. So that hopeful.

Good luck everyone!

LOL, can you go instead of him - wear a false beard.....
