Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Hey all
Well thought i'd updae you all. Had an offer last week from a cah buyer - even share same solicitor firm so knew they were genuine. They were looking to buy a house for their Son wo had been hit by a car and recieved significant compensation. They came out on several occassions and even had me take ysterday off work for the Occupational Therapist to measure up for equipment the child needs. However ( there is always a however) 30mins before the OT was due out they withdrew the offer, apparently the trustee does not feel that buying a house is not in the childs best interest. So gutted, a really could see the end in sight. Back to square one except Queensland Health have been bck in touch this am pushing for approximate dates and firmining up plans agh!!!
So glad for those of you with viewers as this market is jut so depressing - hate listening to the news just now as its always so bloody negative!!!

Hi everyone
Humble apologies for not having time to catch up with a weeks worth of posts, although much quieter on here lately, I'd like to think thats because everyone has sold?
Hope that you are all OK and having some luck
Will try and catch up properly soon when I have more time and faster internet connection, using mobile connection on the laptop, very sloooow!

Hi
Angie - So sorry to hear about your buyer, you never know they might reconsider. Keeping my fingers crossed you have some good news soon
Nicky - Excited and nervous, calm and nauseous, hyper and knackered - all the time
We fly in 2 days time so what hasn't been done by then will just have to wait!
How's everyone, any news for Tina and FA on their sales, anyone else had an offer?

We have had two viewings in two days. Both liked the place but need to sell theirs. But it's better than having no viewings at all. It makes you feel more positive.
My neighbour works for a large bank in their mortgage sector and he said to me that there is money available for mortgages but as so many people are listening to the news they're not coming in and getting mortgage quotes. They just believe they won't get a mortgage.
The power of the media eh.

Oh, what rotten luck Angie. Like everyone else says don't give up. There's a buyer out there for all of us.
I agree, Mozzy. But we will all get through this.
Brilliant news, Debbie. Congratulations. Let's hope it all goes smoothly for you.
I agree, Tableland.

It is really good that you have had viewers. Let's face it, if your property can attract people in this market, then it obviously has something going for it.

Great news Debbie- I am so pleased for you as I know you were so depressed about it all. I hope that things are starting to move now - people have to move house, so houses should still sell.....
Good luck with the solicitor!!! Fingers crossed it's good news. When are you thinking of moving out???
Solicitor said there is no reason why we can't exchange soon she just needs the papers back she sent them weeks ago:curse:
Just looked at flights and have some on hold til Monday to fly out on 6th Aug so hope to exchange by monday
All getting close now please st Joe do your stuff
The media caused most of this crisis anyway. :curse: As they say, good news doesn't sell papers.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Hi All.... Just an update on our viewing last night. They arrived 10 mins early, lovely couple & seemed very interesting in our house
They had looked at 6 on our estate & commented that ours was bigger & in a better location than the others.
Apparently they have been looking at ours for while but hadn't sold theirs so didn't want to view till they had sold.
One of our neightbours mentioned last week that they had seen a couple taking photo's of our house & that she was expecting a baby. The couple who came last night were expecting so I presume its the same couple. Sounds promising but who knows what gonna happen. Fingers crossed its good news. They said they would make an offer when the survey on their house has come back ok (hopefully by the end of the week!).
This is definatley more stressful than waiting for the visa, I feel physically sick waiting.
Goodluck to everyone selling & hope we all get more viewers soon

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Our EA has just rang.
The buyers have been in touch and have a couple of issues they would like to put to us.
Apparently the survey has come back and a couple of things need looking at roof, floor, wall ties and damp proof.
Funny this was never mentioned two weeks ago when we were told by their financial advisor via the EA that the full amount had been offered by the lender.
The buyer says as not to slow things down we can complete in 2 weeks if we reduce by 2k so they can do the checks when they have moved in.
OR
We can drag it out a bit longer while they get people round to inspect the "problems"
So if we go for the first option I get to pay for the checks woop de do.
As we are not in so much of a rush at the minute we can wait for them to pay.
Why is everything so difficult?
Good luck Tawkins on the viewing hope it turns out as you hope

Can you ask for a copy of the survey to see what it actually says if they expect you to hand over £2k for it?
We all know some of the things that are mentioned in surveys and are barely worth thinking about, our survey when we bought our house mentioned wall ties but I think this is standard surveyor covering their back.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Funnily enough the EA has asked for a copy, but its not materialised yet 
When the EA spoke to their financial advisor there was no mention of a retention and the bank has offered full amount so its obviously not causing them concern as to not pay out the cash.
The house has been fully modernised and checks were done on floor and damp proof.
We had a wall tie issue when we bought our flat many moons ago but they held money back until the work was completed.
Personally I think they are trying to pull a fast one after all £2k will get you some nice carpet.

They probably are trying it on, very cheeky of them to ask for money off without you seeing the report though.

We have had two viewings in two days. Both liked the place but need to sell theirs. But it's better than having no viewings at all. It makes you feel more positive.

One of our neightbours mentioned last week that they had seen a couple taking photo's of our house & that she was expecting a baby. The couple who came last night were expecting so I presume its the same couple. Sounds promising but who knows what gonna happen. Fingers crossed its good news. They said they would make an offer when the survey on their house has come back ok (hopefully by the end of the week!).
This is definatley more stressful than waiting for the visa, I feel physically sick waiting.
Goodluck to everyone selling & hope we all get more viewers soon
They had looked at 6 on our estate & commented that ours was bigger & in a better location than the others.
Apparently they have been looking at ours for while but hadn't sold theirs so didn't want to view till they had sold.

Our EA has just rang.
The buyers have been in touch and have a couple of issues they would like to put to us.
Apparently the survey has come back and a couple of things need looking at roof, floor, wall ties and damp proof.
Funny this was never mentioned two weeks ago when we were told by their financial advisor via the EA that the full amount had been offered by the lender.
The buyer says as not to slow things down we can complete in 2 weeks if we reduce by 2k so they can do the checks when they have moved in.
OR
We can drag it out a bit longer while they get people round to inspect the "problems"
So if we go for the first option I get to pay for the checks woop de do.
As we are not in so much of a rush at the minute we can wait for them to pay.
Why is everything so difficult?
Good luck Tawkins on the viewing hope it turns out as you hope

Are they likely to pull out though?

Re: Whinging Pom House seller (The Continuation)
Definitely want to see that report though, they have already cost us the price of validating because they couldn't complete on their original deadline of the beginning of May. :curse:
