Fly Away

EWWWWWWWw! LOL. I'm not green fingered either, but our lawn is often soggy as we are on a hill. The grass which gets really wet is actually better than where it dryer. I think you just have to avoid walking over it, which pulls the grass out when it is wet. I'm sure someone will know, but it'll be fine.

Any news on your house?

[QUOTE=Fly Away;6168745]Hope the netball was fun and not too cold. BRRR. Sounds like a good night indeed!

Hope you're feeling a bit better again today. Let's try and stay positive.

A lot chirpier now and you should see the house, talk about let it go, Positivity all the way I say. Daughter just got up to go to McDonalds for breakfast!!!



Sorry can't be of any help, have no idea a plant from a weed

Dan the Plumber

No no news will be ringing other agents tomorrow though. Must be a day for things to go wrong - shower door has fallen off, shower leaking (well has been for ages now driving mrs mad!!!) and toilet keeps slowly running into pan then refilling approx every 15 mins really really loudly
Not too popular in this house at the mo

nickywes

And you a plumber too. Same in this house, living with a builder!!! What can I say?

Fly Away

Glad that you're feeling better. Hope your daughter feels better after her Mcds.

Now, let me get this straight, all the things that have gone wrong in the house are to do with the plumbing that you did.... and you wonder why your wife is mad.

I would definately get some more EAs in for their opinion and hopefully get a better deal. You couldn't get much worse an agent could you?? Could you - EEEK, maybe you could!

Dan the Plumber

well technically ............yes........but things do go wrong its just all at the same time
New EA yes defo be interesting to hear what others have to say ( not if its drop it £100,000

eddie007

last house viewing came to nothing...just an offer 50k less than the reduced price... which even my muppet EA said not to take...

Whats this about the banks stopping giving mortgages?

Tiggs+Graz

Afternoon/morning/evening/whatever time it is ... i get all confused!

It has been great talking to Somme (although i havent seen my phone bill yet ) - talking to someone who you know is feeling the same as you is very theraputic.
Cant wait for you and Gonnago to get here Hurry up with those visas

excellent ... you have a unique selling point!!!! Fingers crossed she really wants to live next to her mum

you need to use all that snow to build an igloo on the concrete - then noone will be able to see it!!


did you enjoy your evening then?!

If they price it at around the same mark, then it might be worth dropping the price £10K under as then it is bargain... Hope they give you good news.

Sorry to hear that Eddie. People are really taking the micky with offers as they think they can get a bargain. The market is set to drop further I think - It might be worth your while getting the EA to try and talk the people who offered up a bit and then taking the offer. It would save you money in the long run.

Yes it's true, the banks can borrow less money themselves, so they can offer fewer loans. They have tightened up their lending criteria too. So people can't get such big mortgages.

LOL, it's obviously an occupational hazard then. Have you heard anything from the Mother in the back garden viewers?

Well, I have no news. DD is still on holiday until Wednesday and my house is like a tip. Hoping to get these developers to view next week - should hear tomorrow. If they don't want it. then we'll try and sell it dirt cheap. If that doesn't work, we'll try auction and if that doesn't work, we'll let it out. Told our neighbour we might let it today and he said he'd happily act as a go between for us. Which is good.

Hi Everyone

Not been on for ages, but keep having a peek. Totally peed off - had other agents to view - dropped price from £395,00 to £375,00 - have now dropped to £350K and will put with a new agent at £345K - going to go with Whitegates - has anybody else used them??? Went with local agent who assured me that they had a reputation for dealing with country cottages and houses and people go straight to them for that reason. Other agents valued at £349K and £345K - Dacres advised to put on for £300K and it would sell!!! I feel the first valuations were over - but surely not by 100K!!!!!! Will give it a go with the new agent, they are coming to photograph on Wednesday and should be on with them asap.

Also my teenage son has now decided he doesnt want to come out with us just yet - he moved in with his father and we have had problems but he was coming round and wanted to go back but not his father has filled his head full of big offers and he has decided to stay for a bit -he is 17 and said he will come out after his 18th - wants to spend it here - although its a full year away!! Ttally gutted and peed off with house and everything in general. Off to Centre Parcs at the weekend for a chill out - hope the snow thaws!!!!

Morning all.

Just had EA round, quite frightening at this time of the morning and can't imagine waking up to him each day yukk. Anyway, Paul gave him a right earful and I had to go out of the room cos I was so embarassed. Told him we wanted over exposure now not 3 weeks without even being advertised. EA just said point taken.

Anyways, we have a full page going in with brilliant new photos and new price and different write up. Lets hope it works.

Any news from anyone? Any new viewers or offers?

This is our week and then we will all be off to Oz

Fly Away

Oh what a nightmare. I hope you sell quickly at the lower price. £100K is a big over pricing on a £400K house. I'd be suspicious too. Of course, you could sell at £100K under as it is ridulously cheap.

Good luck with the new EA - hope this one is better.

Nightmare about your son too. I hope he comes round. Teenagers do change their minds A LOT!!

We are all having really tough times it seems. The only thing we can do is support each other and keep the faith. sending you a big ((hug)) and some Ks for good luck.

Let's hope the rocket works and he gets off his backside and does something. Fingers crossed the price drop works and you are on your way to Oz really soon too.

Just off to phone my Saundersfoot EA for an update. Tempted to reduce there too - although we are only breaking even now - will be taking a loss if drop any more.

johull

Thanks for the hugs - need them boo hoo!!! Just been on mobile to lovely teenage son - he wanst so stay here to have his 18th with his mates he said and go out with them all - he was 17 a fortnight ago!!! Tried to gently explain that he has only been going round with some of them over the last year -some have got girlfriends and drifted off the radar and the others are stil knocking around, said he will meet other lads, he still is in contact with some from when we lived there before, so will be going round Surfers or Broadceach instead of here!!!

Had a good feeling about the woman from Whitegates - seemed on the ball and keen as. Halifax guy was a bit of a slimeball, looked like David Gest and didnt make eye contact while we spoke and told me price I had paid and as it was a renovation (and I mean FULL renovation) he made some estimate at what he thought we had put into the house and said we would break even and its fair to assume that we wouldin todays market. I said my OH is a builder - he is a project manager - and his job is to do rennos and new builds FOR PROFIT!!! The house is in a fab area and is unreconisable from what it was - he then said their rate was 1.75% I said others were doing 1% and he said no way would they - nice lady in the office called the day after and asked what I thought, said rate was too high and she said they would do 1.5% but it was as low as they could go. Said thanks but no thanks.

Have you heard from your developers??

Market is moving - Husband has sold 2 houses in Leeds for over £300K - why not us!!!

steveandtina

No news on the woman who's mum lives at the back, But the time wasters like the house but to small for them (did they not see the room sizes on the details?- knob heads).
Good luck with the sale I'm sure your 17 year old will come round, my 17 year old changes his mind like the wind


Have to agree put a rocket under EA bum hope the full page works
