EA just phoned to say that as of tomorrow we can do viewings - they took over at 5pm. They have 2 people who want to view - both developers. She will ring me tomorrow PM to make appointments. Sounds very promising.

On the down side, she gave me a rental value which wasn't great - prob £500 pcm off what we were hoping for. However, it does give us an idea of what we can achieve. she rents were going down too... so if no one is buying and everyone is renting, why are rents going down??



You poor soldier.

Sounds positive Fly Away really thinking of you! Sounds like this EA is putting their bum into gear.

I haven't been on this forum for months now but I wondered if I could gatecrash this thread? If it serves no other purpose at least people can reassure me (hopefully) that I am not totally irrational!

Got my visa in November, resigned from my job (gave them five months notice) and finished there last Friday. Hooray! House went on the market in January, and after one total p!sstake of an offer, and a drop in price, I finally got, and accepted an offer from some FTB's who are currently living in a family home just around the corner.
So they have got a hefty deposit. They have secured a mortgage offer. They paid for a homebuyers survey that all came back fine. They have been round to measure up for kitchen white goods. They have already ordered stuff for my lounge to be delivered. According to my solicitor we're ready to exchange on my side, and the buyers solicitors are just waiting for signed documents to come back from the buyers before they are ready too.

So why oh why oh why is there still part of my brain that is convinced this is all going to fall through??? Even with all the evidence above I still can't let myself believe that it will happen, and daren't pack up any more furniture incase we have to get on the viewing merry-go-round again. There is naturally cautious, and then there is me.

Someone please slap me round the face with a large wet fish or something.

Thank you.

How come then, when I'm sick and poorly I still have to take the children to school, get on with my chores etc?:

Yeah, make him go back to work and suffer like you.
I know it's not exactly what you want to do FA, but needs must. Try not to think about it too much. Certainly sounds promising for you though.

Thanks - it's just trying to work out if it is better to hold onto it and make a loss and hopefully sell in 2 years for a profit.

It doesn't make sense, maybe everyone living with their parents.

Totally mad.::

Mmmm, it our families, I tell ya.:

I'm sure it is!!

I'm not old and I've seen that sketch a million times.::

You're a mere babe in arms hun.

I just want today to end. I'm completely fed up with everything today. Kids getting on my nerves (not wanting their dinners, and I have to cook two different ones for them), OH getting on my nerves.

Roll on bed time.:
