Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
We are having our first viewers in about 6 weeks tomorow.
So it's tidy up time and hide around the corner while the EA shows them around. I can't stand being in the house when they are there.
The market seems to be improving fractionally, a house around the corner this week. We'll see what happens.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Yes we're lucky to have someone waiting in the wings but they have two other people in their chain - which really means nothing as there wasn't a chain with my other buyer and look where we got with that.
Don't you go giving up now either especially as you have the visa. Don't know how old your son is but our eldest is 14 and starts year 10 next week. We were planning on giving it until January when he would start year 10 in Oz and like Tina says what will be here for them when they leave school?
I know it's easy for someone else to tell you what you should do. I wish you well in making the best decision for yourself and your family
Hi tawkins1, the other buyer is quite happy to offer and already says that they want the house but hubby has given the first buyer a deadline of next Friday Mad fool!
In my heart of hearts I think we will end up selling to my friend unless the chain collapses above her I actually don't feel stressed out since finding out about our buyer, in a way I feel like a weight has been lifted because something just never felt right. Therefore I don't know if I'd trust him to offer a gifted deposit. After waiting 8 weeks for him to announce he hadn't got his mortgage after loads of obstacles, I don't think I could sit and wait for more possible excuses again.
Fingers crossed that you get some possitive news soon
I agree, we've been honest with them but not everyone's like that and it's just frustrating when you have to deal with these people.
PMSL
Good luck

Oh Dawn what a horrible thing to happen - your buyer is such a piece of work. I know it will take longer but I would sell to your friend - they could buy the searches and the survey off the first buyer to speed the purchase up.
The other option is to give the buyer a gifted deposit. Increase your price by 5% and give it back to him. Then he has a 10% deposit.

Although that's technically mortgage fraud if he doesn't declare it to his mortgage lender; and if he does declare it, they won't count it as being a deposit.

Stick your earphones in. That's what I'm doing.
Sorry tina, but that made me laugh about singing into your hairbrush.
Sounds like my EA. Was supposed to ring on Wednesday, phoned me back today.
Oh poo about the cinema. Have fish & chips. Mmmmmmmmm
Oh poo, S. Good luck with your decision.
Sorry Tina but eurgh. That wouldn't be KFC would it. *where's the sick smilie*.
PMSL about the sold sign.
Don't you dare think about jacking it in. You've come much too far for that. I know we have all been there but you've just got back from our validation and had a wicked time.
Put into perspective, man.
(that's me telling you off)
I so agree with you SC.
Good luck SM. We too have a viewing tomorrow and my house is a tip. Mad cleaning session tomorrow.
Jeez, Tina stop using so many smilies.
Dont eat Indian, boring aint ihad southern fried chicken and chips can almost hear my heart clogging up
Wouldn't worry bout the wall knocking, viewers do that but they dont know why Look at it as half a chance of them buying it
DONT you dare knock it on the head MR if you do I'm gunna come to your house and pinch your nipples so hard
I know it a tough time for your boy but what happens if you stay and when he leaves school there will nothing here for him.
Have good news there is a SOLD sign in my street had to go and touch it as I might not see another one for a while:

I know that in the end, we have been incredibly lucky but we had made a decision before we went on the market about how low we could afford to go. I just was not prepared to be really struggling financially right from the very start.
You do have time on your side for now though.May be worth taking it off the market & rethinking in 12 months?
Only you guys know the answer to this one so good luck S & R!

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
I'm back!!
MIL has gone home at last! left me with a huge pile of washing and a fridge full of rotting food. She wouldn't eat what we eat so I had to go and buy different food for her.:curse: I thought I knew what she didn't like, but she seems to have got some sort of OCD and will only eat certain sorts of certain things. ARGGHHHHHH worse than a child.:curse:
Still haven't exchanged. Now we are waiting for a cheque to get to the mortgage comapny for the survey. WHY WASN'T this DONE MONTHS AGO????:curse: We have found a rental but we are too scared to commit in case it all goes wrong and we end up paying for a rental and the mortgage for months while we sit here waiting. What is wrong with these people???????????????:curse:

Thanks, Tina. Due at 3.30pm.
You're not the only one who hasn't seen Mamma Mia, I haven't seen it either.
I agree about the smilies.
At least she's gone.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tina - I've asked for a whole hord of viewers for you!!
If this goes on much longer, there will be no point moving into a rental, we might as well just go to Oz. It's only the wretched visa which is stopping us, but this week they have granted some of our class, so hopefully we'll get it in a couple of weeks. It's a race, which will we do first - get the visa or get the exchange???
