Unless the interest rate drop has forced rents down?? Or so many people are letting instead of selling and the market's flooded......

The idea is that when we get there I'll go straight out to work as OH has to get his permit etc which could take quite some time by all accounts. So if that works out then I won't have to worry about them all the time, he'll have to.

Reckon you could be right there. Interests rates have gone up in Oz, therefore rent has gone up. Could be the same here but in reverse.

LOL, make sure you make the most of working while he doesn't. Ring up at odd times, demanding stuff be done immediately - as he has forgotten, stuff picked up, will be late with no warning etc.... plus there is no way ever, you can pick up or drop off at school - even if you drive past....

Bitter me???? Nooooooo!

Happy anniversary Fly, have a good evening. Mine in a couple of weeks, only 4 years of bliss but living together 18 years. Got married in Vegas in the middle of the desert, brilliant.

Good luck to all with viewers this weekend. We don't have any as usual. Hasn't even been in the paper the last two weeks, in fact our EA hasn't advertised at all. Me wonders if he doesn't have the money to advertise due to lack of sales??? I am not going to clean anything all weekend and see if that helps.

Beautiful house Off2Oz, bet you can't wait to get there now.

Good luck Mozzy and SteveandTina with viewing tomorrow.

Nicky xx

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 said that rents were going down too... so if no one is buying and everyone is renting, why are rents going down??

You poor soldier.

I shall do all the of the above and more. Luckily he broke his last mobile and hasn't bothered to get another one, so I'M FREE

Although he does like to leave little notes around of things that need doing. As if I don't know.

Congrats Fly on the anniversary,

Good Luck to all those with viewings.

Nicky, I would ask your EA about the paper, although you probably have by now, as I am a little slow at the moment.



I'll join that one.



Fly this is great, fingers crossed for you.

Had a quick skim read, hope I haven't missed anything too important. Although I didn't notice Beth, hope everything is OK.

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.

Beth's OH's grandmother died on Friday. She came on to say they couldn't make the meet and haves't been on since. I presume they are busy / away from home etc. Hope that they are OK.
