Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Sound's promising, some times you do have to say that a viewing went well, to keep people positive, but not go as far as your EA has. So I would say he's being honest, unless he's full of bottom fluids.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Fingers crossed for you
We have a viewer tomorrow at 5.30 pm, will it be dark by then
They have a house to sell so we will see, not getting too excited but you never know
Yes me and hubby have to keep in touch on the phone otherwise there would be no conversation between us

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Thats what happened to me I had been away for the weekend and Oh and kids had messed up the house. 2.30pm got a call from OH saying viewers were coming at 4.30. Had to rush around like a headless chicken because I had to get the kids from school at 3 and wouldn't be back til nearly 4. Could have killed him :curse:

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
what time was your flight?! have i missed you?! have a great flight and make sure you let us know how you are getting on.
i know how you are feeling - Graz has been doing loads of overtime (he is trying to get the money together to pay for our flights so we dont have to dip into our savings before we even leave!)
i feel as if i have hardly seem him especially over the last couple of weeks
welcome to the thread!
unfortunately your EA is right - we have all been finding that it is difficult to get viewers through the door. On the other hand you have only been on the market for 2 weeks so it is still early days.
Sending house selling K your way
these people really annoy me! They have a set of house details with sizes on it and then they arrive and complain that the rooms are too small - didnt they look at the sizes written down?!
do you have to validate by january? that is going to be short notice for getting across even if you get a quick sale
i think if i were you i would be doing the planning (just not booking yet!) a validation trip just in case.
Sending K to you!
this could only happen to you! 
Ok i have caught up AGAIN - can you lot please pay attention and if i am not logged on can you stop posting!
i have decided that i am no longer addicted to BE - i have hardly been on there for days - but i am now officially addicted to this thread!!
...
My poor OH left for work yesterday at 4.50 am got home 20.15 last night out again at 4.50 am this morning, if I ever have any dauts about going seeing him work sooooooo hard makes me think we are doing the right thing
Not sure where that came from, feel I amongst friends

Well the house has been on the market now for 2 weeks and have had no viewers.Im beginning to worry now especially as the housing market is sooooooo slow.I phoned the EA and they claim enquiries have nearly totally dried up and houses just are not selling....

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
You really couldn't write most of this! Fantastic, i have tears running down my cheeks!OMG, it IS today! Delivered the car to the buyer yesterday then spent the evening with sister, her ex (dont ask! quite an odd setup!!!) and niece. It is all quite surreal; everyone has tears and stuff but me an OH havent. We think (any shrinks on BE?) it is because it is our 'choice' and we know that we could stay if we wanted; for the others our going away is being forced on them and there nowt they can do about it.
Um, how do you think we sold so quickly!
haha, Indecent Proposal! Now, the pox. (Exposed to Chook pox 13 days ago, for those wondering) - 98% i've had it. i think. ish) Nothing yet, but i'm noticing the odd little 'tingle' on my skin. 99.99% sure it is nothing and just in my mind (otherwise i would postpone!!). But me and OH have a bet going that we end up in Singapore with Shingles and a Cold (OH is sneezing) - it would just be the icing on the emigration-rollercoaster cake!
Thanks folks! Got wifi lappy, so may bore you (and check yoo's all not slacking on the selling fronts!) with funnies in next few days.
Good luck the Walkermats. Hope you have a great flight and a smooth landing in Canberra.
Hope the pox is left behind in the UK and can't find you in Singapore.
We fully expect updates from an internet cafe everyday. Don't want you to have too much fun do we??? LOL!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Need some opinions from you guys (busy estate agents as well if they have a spare few minutes) Our house in on 3 floors with the top floor having an en-suite bedroom and an office/bedroom (full size not attic rooms). My brother is moving into an unfurnished house next week and asked to buy the stuff from both rooms off of us. We were going to sell it after we had sold the house anyway as we don't use it. Hubby thinks we should leave furniture in there a people need to see how they could use it and how much space there is. I think that it quite obvious what you could get in there as these rooms are quite big, besides we brought the house from new and could see what would/wouldn't go.
So should I sell to my brother and just tell viewers rooms are empty as we are hoping to move quickly and getting rid of unnecessary stuff or, keep it all just in case they can't work out what to use the rooms for!

In my experience people aren't daft! They can judge the size of a room even when there is nothing in it! I would sell the furniture to your brother and just say to viewers this room could be used for xyz. We have got rid of our stuff ready for the move but we used it for x. The only downside is you can't hide any imperfections in the decor.

we are desperate to get the kids across to start school at the end of jan and our house renovations took soooo much longer than we had planned on. The only real difference is that we havent booked the flights - been REALLY close a couple of times but (luckily) kept putting off.
i am getting a bit panicky now about christmas coming up - do we try and get across before (and potentially have all of our possessions somewhere in transit over christmas) or do we put off until after the hols and then maybe struggle to get over and sorted in time for kids starting school?!
