Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Morning All,
Hi Nicky, no..I don't live in Amsterdam, I live in a small town called Putte near the Belgian Border, only 30 k's away from Antwerp and about 30 minutes away from the North sea.
Hi Mozzy, wow, and they've made an offer but 25K below your asking price. Have you had a reponse yet on your counter offer?? Fingers crossed for you!!
Hi FA, wow, let's hope you're going to get a fair price after that huge offer you've made!! Let's hope you hear from that developer pretty soon...exchanging in June...WOHOOEEEIIYYY...
[
Good luck with the viewing!!
And everyone else I forgot, good luck with the viewings, EA's etc.
Morning Tum
That picture is so cute, wish we had got a small dog rather than our big bouldering clumsy labrador (not really).
When I chose Ria is was not very popular but now I keep hearing the name more and more. I got it from the programme Butterflies with Wendy Craig, did you ever watch that.
Do you actually live in Amsterdam? I have been there so many times as I worked for Amsterdam Travel for a few years. Love it there, very lively and buzzing.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Well, I've just had a very interesting call! The developer who is interested but can't proceed is very anxious to secure the property now we have reduced the price as he is convinced he will lose it! (Result!) He is going to see his bank manager and is wondering if we would be prepared to exchange in June and complete in October. I said we would consider it for a good offer.
Looks like the price reduction was a good idea!

Get as much out of him as you can!!! I bet he's as happy as Larry now the price has dropped - that makes him more when he develops and sells:curse:Get what you can out of him and make it all favourable in your terms
Really pleased for you hope it all goes smoothly!!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Morning all,
Wasn't online last night as Sparky wife and her hub were over for dinner - she is flying on Wednesday and off line now. We had a great time and much wine was drunk.
Thanks Dinky. Just hope it all comes together.
I agree with Gonnago - have you got a friend you could donate them too? Then fill in the holes. Doesn't sound like you have done anything drastic and it can easily be put right.
Have fun! You won't be in that uncomfortable situation much longer hun.
I think your visa will be with you next week and you can book tickets!!
Thanks Emma! I just hope I haven't tempted fate by talking about it...
Fingers crossed that you get some good news too Nicky!
Sounds a good idea and will frighten the buyer too!
PMSL - I bet they are quaking in their boots. My Ea said the best way to arrange an open day was to generate some interest, (ie when we cut the price and put offers over) Then when people rang for an appointment ,tell, them that there had been so much interest that there would be an open day. That way, they think there is lots of competiion. Then have some friends in the house pretending to be viewers, (and also keeping an eye on your stuff) So when people turn up they definately think there will be competion.
Hope that helps! Good luck with it.
Well, I must go and get dressed now - off to Cadbury World with DD. Don't know who is looking forward to it more - me or her.
Good luck in house selling land.

Well, we have another drama with our house sale, looks like we may have breached a covenant in our lease
We live on an open plan estate, everyone has a lawn at the front and a few plants in front of that. According to this covenant, we are not allowed to plant any shrubs in this bit of land. To be honest, there were plants there when we moved in and all we have done is replace them but some have grown quite big. Looks like another call to CPL in the morning (dreading that) to see what we do now
Will this nightmare ever end?? Time to hit the wine I think!

dinky - dig em up fast!! lol without making it look like your burying your estate agent!!!
FLy - OH MY GOD this could be it for you. I think I have pee'd my pants, god knows what I will be like when you exchange and complete.
PMSL - I hope it is the one too... really really trying not to get my hopes up too much. We do have the other viewing next Saturday so that is another hopeful. I think you will need a sedative if I ever get an offer.
Im off shopping now to get away from this house - will catch up later.

I think your visa will be with you next week and you can book tickets!!Wow Nic that is fantastic news, he seems really keen.:Could he give a massive deposit? Do you want to wait till October though.
Thanks Nicky - I said that to the EA that a non refundable deposit might be the way to go. We could wait until October to complete - wouldn't matter so long as the sale was definate. Wouldn't have to move into a rental BUT it would cost us a bit in mortgage payments and lost interest, so we would like to have a higher offer to cover that. We would just lock it up and leave when we wanted to. We have enough money to see us through to October.
Excellent, seems like a good EA, fingers crossed for you
Well worth changing Bec!
Has been quite a good day for positive news, lets hope it keeps going now.:
