I agree.


Well I have news the lovely couple who came on Sunday are coming back with her mum and dad on Thursday night Please please let them buy it!!!
Great news - I have everything crossed for you. I might threaten the little plastic man too.

Excellent news about your viewers. Will keep the fingers well and truly crossed for you.


My EA rang this evening. Couple with baby that came at the weekend for a second view really want ours. They just haven't sold yet.

Tomorrow I am going to do serious research about a possible part x.
Great idea! Good luck

It's a good idea in this market if people below you in the chain can't move.

Fingers crossed it looks viable.

Bushy the ex EA.x
Hiya Bushy!!! Where have you been you naughty man??? Hope things are good for you.

NO WOBBLING AND THAT IS AN ORDER!!!!

I'm about as strong as the 'Mr Muscle' man right now....LOL

You are one of the strongest people I know Beth. It's not fair that you are tested over and over, but I know you will get through this. It's a bugger having to be the strong one all the time though.


Hi Bushy.......long time no see...LOL
No news from me.........I'm the 'Champion Non House Seller' still
Take care and catch up with you soon,


Beth x x :

Not sure how long these gas electricity checks are going to take, and any jobs they find... Might have to resort to back up plan if there are no queues down the street for my open hour next week.
Good luck Sunflower. Bloomin EAs (sorry Bushey) like rats leaving the sinking ship. Ours did the same thing - 'Oh we're specialising in rentals now', they said as they gave us the office junior to look after our sale.:curse:

Keeping my fingers crossed the parents give your house the OK and possibily help them out!x
Can I have them as my Mom and Dad?????

I was so worried that they'd see something they didnt like that they missed the first time. We've instructed solicitors and so have they, fingers crossed for a quick exchange. We have been told it could be as soon as first week of Nov.

Any other news for anyone?
Loads of luck!:thumbsup:

Mine take ages to give me feedback as well.

No news from 2nd viewing on Saturday. Back to chewing nails then.
Fingers crossed!

Not too bad! House still not sold! Had a viewer a few weeks back who want it but they haven't sold theirs TYPICAL!
But, we've got our validation trip to look forward too on the 14th November for 3 weeks Can't wait.....
Can't believe you still haven't exchanged That would really send me over the edge I think? You must have the patience of a saint

No I have the patience of someone with no choice. I feel llike I have aged 10 years in the last year.

Glad to hear you are looking forward to your validation trip. You will have a great time!

Fingers crossed the people who viewed sell soon. Is there any chance of part xing with them and renting theirs out??????

Just dropping by everyone - I'm not here too often & still plodding on trying to get the ex sorted out, but think of you all often.

Jeeze - how the heck do you have the time to do all this multi-quoting everywhere FA? Lol!

Hi Beth - didn't realise you were lurking here Great to see you!

Lots of luck & love to you all

Not been on here for a while and it takes me ages to catch up with where everyone is LOL but all the best to everyone whatever the situation

Last minute wobble today, buyer going into sign today with deposit (cash buyer) then exchange end of next week - EA rang to tell me this....... then I get home to a letter about those of us that don't have HIPS have to have a ECP (or similar) energy survey done if you don't 'exchange' before 1st October!!! which they tell me there are long waiting lists for......

Could she not have said on the phone the numerous times she rang yesterday instead of sending me a circular letter which I got at about 4.30 yesterday afternoon.... after some quick calls I hope our buyer is going to pay by bankers draft today so it clears instantly then we can exchange before 1st Oct........... major wobbles this morning, so close and yet so far away - Karma needed LOL

Well at 9.10 this morning we had a offer on our house but sadly it was far to low

We dropped 20k this week for a limited time just for a quick sale but they have offered 15k under that
