Whinging Pom House seller
Re: Whinging Pom House seller
PMSL - very close to the truth there!
Well I have more news and I don't know what to think about it. Had a phonecall from EA saying the offer had been increased by £10k but before she did that, she asked me if my OH had agreed to the £640K. I said not. Then she said said there was another £10K.
Anyhow, she says this is his last offer and is only open until Friday. Now this has started alarm bells ringing - why give us a deadline? The people coming on Saturday are developers too. Does he want to stop them seeing it? How does he know? He seems to be very cosy with the EAs, (got first look, on first name terms etc.) I said if we accepted that we would want it left on the market until he commited. So if we accept and this Saturday viewing is cancelled, we will know they are in league. EA says this is the best offer we are going to get in this climate - and the market is reducing every day. She is really pressurising me to accept - I say I can't as I have to speak to OH.
I feel physically sick. If we accept, we lose £100K (£50k off purchase price 3 years ago and £50k we spent on it.) Obviously we have until exchange to pull out but OH reckons the EAs won't bother marketing it once there is a sale agreed. I wish I knew if prices were going to drop further or if this was a silly blip and things will get better in 6 months time. It is our first offer in 11 months. Maybe it is the only one we will get?
OH wants to reject it. I want to sell this flamin house. You know how it has driven me mad trying to sell it. I don't want to sell it at any cost though. I know how Beth felt now.
HELP.

dont really know what to suggest ... i would be worried about the deadline thing - sounds too pushy to me - not to mention the fact that he is not going to complete for so long
Just doesnt sound quite right somehow. I think i am with P on not accepting this one ... it is not the right combination of price/conditions ... but then i know how you feel too
Fly I think with this one you are going to have to bite the bullet and tell it as it is. Get onto the agent and tell him that your not putting up with it. That you are willing to consider the offer but will not be bound until contract.
If he isnt going to play ball then let him go, and you can always tempt him back monday if you get nowhere with this other guy.
Like I say if he wants it he wants it.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Hi
Hope do well with your car boot sale.
We spent ages last week filling the car, hubby went on his own, no room in the car for anyone else! only to find it had to find it had been cancelled:curse:
So will check more carefully this week. As far as prices are concerned, I'm not sure because I don't really care what we are get for the stuff as long as it does not come home again!
I have sold some other stuff on Ebay, when I thought I could get a reasonable price.

well FA it think you should do what everyone else has said, me I would defo wait for the other viewer on sat and see what they say, also say to them that you have just had an offer-- if they are intrested they might be able to nagotiate a better offer there and then
To everyone else that has has viewing good luck I hope they put offer's in.

That happened to me once when we had visitors - frightened them to death when it popped out from under the cooker at breakfast time.
Edit - posted before I was ready - just wanted to say VERY good luck with the viewings.

Why did you tell them ok? Can't imagine why you did that
Re: Whinging Pom House seller
well i did tell them i wasn't chuffed !
Re: Whinging Pom House seller
We had bad news our buyer has lost their buyer again (so glad we didn't take ours off the market) but they have had another offer from someone else bout 10k lower than before so she wants us to drop another 10k.
Her agent has told her the offer on her flat is a good offer and the best she will get . But she wants us to drop as she wont be morg free and won't be able to put a conservatory on our house. My heart bleeds for her!.
So I've told her to find another house to buy as we will not be dropping. I can't be arsed with the silly cow she's just being greedy now. She doesn't need a conservatory, 2 of them are moving into a 3 bed house with hugh kitchen family room as well as a lounge.
Oh well lets hope the 2 coming tomorrow are Tom and Jerry fans
