Hi fellow whingers

Just wondered if there were many ex-whingers out there who have actually sold who could offer some hope to the rest of us? Who has sold after an eternity? What did it take?

I've been 10 weeks, 4 viewings and now on second agent. No offers. Reduced price 5k. It's in Brighton. Real bummer forking out for that HIP crap if can't sell the blasted thing. Grrrrrrrr.

Good luck everyone

Sarah:curse:

Just thought I would give you my latest update. We have just reduced again by another 45k, that now brings it to a reduction of 120k. If it doesn't sell now it won't in this market but we will not reduce anymore and will put up for rent on 1st July. We are now priced so low for this house and can't understand it not selling. They have told us there are hardly any buyers out there.

I know we are impulsive but I can't see the point of leaving it any longer with the flights booked.

How bloody rude are some people. Are you sure it isn't the agents making up some viewers, has been heard of before

Hi Sarah - There have been lots that have sold and waited a long time to do it too. There are still some not sold after more than a year too :curse:

Stokesy

Good luck Nicky. Thought about reducing mine again but agent reckons won't make any diffrence as no one looking and those that are, half of them can't get the finances or are stuck in chain themselves.

Brave thing to do, renting out and leaving the country. depends on your situation i suppose, if you could afford to pay the rent if you had no tenant. but if they aren't buying, folks gotta be living somewhere so mayeb rental market is good at the mo.

I actually agree with the agent because if you keep an eye on rightmove or places like that you can see that it is the same houses on there and none of them with under offer or sold.

I am extremely nervous about renting it out which is why I want to start looking for a tenant soon to rent out in October. At least we will know the situation before we go. We have been told that the rental market is pretty good at the moment so will see.

Look at Beth's post where she quotes Ic.

BARSTEWARDS!!! :curse:

We've had a few of those too... Fingers crossed the next one turns up!

Hi Sarah,

Well, I've been on the thread since last summer. In that time, most people have sold. However, the market is now so bad that those of us that are left and the new sellers are having trouble. I think 2 or three have completed in this time and 4 or 5 have offers.

At least you can rent and ride the crash out - as soon as you know for definate you will feel better. Sending yu a huge ((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))) as I know it's gutting. We've completely downsized our house buying expectations in Oz and probably can't buy a business now. *sigh* So I know how you feel.

we have another appointment for Wednesday evening. If they are a no show then I will be questioning the EA

nickywes

I know you are in the same position with the reduction and it is not really that that is bothering me but the not knowing exactly what is going to happen. I need to know that we can get a tenant and once that is sorted I will be happy.

I don't want to buy a bloody house in Oz As for a business, you can keep that too. I want to be a checkout girl and OH a pizza delivery driver and then sit on the sand for the evening with a bottle of wine The sinple life is so appealing now

More cleaning, will keep my fingers crossed for you. Have you got a St. Joe yet?

nickywes

Oh my god I've seen it, ha ha that it was quoted quickly. Well done Beth
