He said it's statements like this that make things come true, consumers hear it's overpriced, the will act upon it, hence making the market fall apart.

I hope you will all find EA's who are communicative, responsive, thoughtfull and very very very good salespersons!!! http://bestsmileys.com/excited/3.gif Good luck with the viewings!

Here's a big kiss for all of you http://bestsmileys.com/kissing1/1.gif
That's what needs to be said over here. Instead, the media print it over and over just to make news stories and then it happens.... today the news said property prices had gone down 10% in a year.

Thanks for the kisses.

Really angry with our EA they have ballsed up our ad by putting the wrong price on and now they have corrected it, a potential buyer thinks we have put it up because he is interested..:curse::curse:

Have a 2nd viewing on my rental flat on Saturday. Can but hope.


I still need loads of good luck this week... the low offer is just too low.
good luck N for tomorrow

The only thing we're waiting for is our buyers to get a survey done and complete their mortgage offer. It's been dragging on for weeks now. It took ages for then to get their mortgage in principle. It's now been okayed subject to survey. This was a week ago - still no sign of the survey. Until they have a survey done they will not have any financial losses if they pull out.
I have left 2 messages for my EA today but he hasn't called me back
I know he is trying to chase it with their financial advisor but it's causing me a huge amount of stress
i've got everything crossed for you and i am willing them to get your survey done! - just send them on to my house afterwards please

We have heard nothing am i being to optomistic in thinking we may have had something by now, i have heard people have put their house on the market and had at least 1 or 2 viewings in the first week, even tho they may not have come to anything, should i ring the EA and ask whats happening and why did it not go in the local rag, (thats their job really but feel i may need to do their job of finding out any info so far )

michellx
we had our first viewing after 6 weeks

but you really need to kick your EA for not putting the ad in the paper!!

Thanks for all the congratulations everyone. I'm sure all of your good luck and karma has helped no end, as well as your support when things haven't been so great!
Have been spreading the news around the family, they are pleased but sad which I didn't really think about I have been so caught up in worrying about the sale. Looks like the next few weeks will be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster
Have provisionaly booked the first flight of our en-route holiday for 16th June, 7 weeks today, scary but very exciting too.
Will be keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.
Good luck and you will get there in the end,
C

That's brilliant news, must be a big relief, especially after such a long time.

She said she likes it.

Bad news the other viewers said it was to small for them. I had a look at their house on rightmove and its a lot bigger than mine. Can't understand why these people want to down size but want the same size as what they have only cheaper
What are they like, I really don't think some people even read the property details :curse:
Good luck with the new EAs but maybe you won't need them. Sounds like quite a good percentage though, guess they are feeling the squeeze too and are just keen to get new clients

Its all sounding good with the viewers, fingers crossed now for one with a nice big wallet

I think I've spent the last year waiting, waiting, just as you say. As soon as you've finished celebrating one thing, its straight back to work with the next big thing, god knows, we'll all be nervous wrecks (or alcoholics) by the time we actually get to Oz!

Sounds like someone is taking the p*** here but as you say its hard to know what to do as you don't want to lose them BUT equally you don't want to miss potential viewers.
Hope that survey gets done soon or at the very least, you get told what is going on.

On April 16th EA denied saying this despite conveyancer writing down all details of conversation. :curse:

With your conveyancer telling you to remarket if not done in a week is there a time limit to when survey has to be done.

I'm getting to point i dont care if i frighten them off we took a hit on price because our buyers promised us a quick turn around they havent delivered so feel we should tell them we are upping the price to another offer we have had.

So confused by all this.
Your situation sounds very familar, they seems to be a lot of buyers/estate agents/banks messing people around and all blaming each other.
Maybe if you tell them that you have had enough, especially as they promised a quick deal, then see what they do, often its enough to kick them up the bum and make them get on with things. Fingers crossed for you

Nic was thinking of you all weekend, hope your ok hunny

Well my new EA came today and took the pics, she is going to email my new booklet over to me tonight. As they take over on thursday she is goingt o have it put in the paper that day !!!!!!! Well I hope she keeps to her deal.

Blimey, that was my first proper go at multi quoting, I got a bit carried away.
Also had problem with too many smilies in original messages, so took some out - then thought perhaps that wasn't the done thing sorry.

Just didn't want to start all over again!
