Hi Sunflower... thanks Good idea about the EA - now where's my daughter's Ken doll! LOL

pamjames

Well, how are you all doing? Anymore news anyone?

We have exchanged contracts today - Yippeee!! - I have booked the container and flights, and I can now steam ahead with all the other things on my list to do before we move out on the 8th April. We are flying out on the 13th and I am fluctuating between excitement and nervousness at the thought of it!!

I do hope someone else will have some good news soon.

travelbug

That's great news about exchanging contracts today!
Even better news about the container and flights!

13th April - now that isn't far off is it No wonder you're fluctuating between excitement and nervousness!!!!

Really pleased for you - good luck for your new life in Oz!

We may have a viewer at the weekend - waiting for the agent to ring us back once he's spoken to the guy.

Pamjames - fantastic news about exchanging. I can't believe how soon you are leaving, I mean it's only weeks off!!! . Very excited for you xxx.

Travelbaug - you heard anything about your possible viewing yet? I hope Pamjames luck spreads across this thread and some more good news comes soon.

Sunflower - you may have already said, but where abouts in perth are you? How you finding everything so far??? Our hope is to move to Perth should the house ever sell, so would be interested to know how it's going and the good, bad and ugly xxx.

carolinephillips - hope you sort out the house problems soon and that those termites remain inactive!!!

Good Luck everyone with viewings this weekend coming

House problems nearly sorted- pest inspector thinks termites are not a problem. just awaiting approval of the mortgage now. Have pre-approval already so can't see a problem there.

Thanks Pops - haven't heard back from the agent yet! He said he'd call back yesterday late afternoon and didn't! Yet another example of this guy's unreliability! The OH is going to ring him this morning. He knows we're free for viewings anytime this weekend so not like we're not available!

That's great news on your house...

Hi Mozzy - that's great news about the viewings! I hope they all turn up and you get plenty of interest in the house!

Hi Blackbag, i hope you exchange soon! Wishing you luck in finding a nice rental until you move later in the year.

have a great weekend everyone! House selling vibes being sent your way!

6 viewings !!!!! - there has to be a good chance that at least one of them will like it - everything crossed for you

Now got full mortgage approval and hope to sign contract on Tuesday. Only problem is I have just been diagnosed with MS and the house has 13 steps up to the front door. when you are in it is all flat tho. I can always get a stairlift. It is also not withing walking distance of school, so I'll have to drive DD. Mind you, I'm ok at the moment and able to drive, and we really want a place of our own, so after a discussion we decided to go ahead. However I'm now worrying about the expense- MRI scans and consultations are not cheap.

mOZzy

oh, so sorry to hear about this!! glad you are taking it step by step and looking ahead so wisely. couldn't they put in a ramp or something??
great news about the house - fingers crossed for the signing!!

pamjames

Really sorry to hear this news, I do hope everything works out ok for you and you can resolve the steps to the front door problem - maybe mOZzy's suggestion of a ramp is feasible?

Good luck, blackbag, I hope that you exchange soon.

Our buyers put their offer in, then our EA told them that they were on 28 day timeline for exchange (this actually went over as their solicitor died 2 days after instruction and they had to get another solicitor who was soooo thorough it became very frustrating... bit too involved to go into details and rather boring as well!!) Anyway, we exchanged 35 days after they put in their offer. Also we complete on 9th April (which has given us a few weeks to sort out everything).

Hi All. How is everyone's week going? Any news from anyone's viewings yet?

We had a viewer this afternoon - I was at work myself when he came but my OH said this guy & his friend stayed for about half an hour & wanted to see everything -going to the bottom of the garden etc & asked loads of questions. He said he really liked our house& wants to bring his wife with him for a 2nd viewing...(they also have a 1yr old daughter). The guy's friend lives in Romford - whereas the buyer lives in Fulham, London & is currently renting there but wants to move out this way...

Fingerscrossed that we'll hear back with something positive before the end of the week.

Does make you feel much more better when you get a bit of positive feedback - even if it doesn't come to anything - or is that just me that feels like that!

Hope you all have a good week - if i hear anything i'll let you all know!
