Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

Well I am feeling REALLY REALLY REALLY bad today :(

Not only can I not sell my bloomin' lovely 4 bed house but I am having problems coping with being thousands of miles away from my hubby - the stresses and strains of life are unbelieveable and am really fed up.

OK moan over - what a nice thread to say u are fed up in :cool:

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

I feel bad for moaning now - at least I am not stuck on my own selling our house. I honestly don't think I could do it. You are doing really well and a lovely cash buyer will appear on your doorstep soon! That's a promise! Bring on the dancers!

Today I have lost the will to live :mad: Just absolutely had enough of life in general.

Think I may just bury myself in a duvet and try and get more than the 3 hours sleep i got last night :curse:

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

Good luck to you all and I hope you all have offers on your house soon!! When selling our house we could have gone with other agents that were slightly cheaper but we chose an agent that were good at mithering! lol we knew this from being at the other end and buying from them! lol
We sold our house in 4 weeks which I think is pretty quick... so those of you at 2 weeks I dont think that is long at all so still time.
We didnt have a lot of viewers about 3... but you only need that one who is interested!

Goodluck!

I just want to give you a big hug! This emigrating lark is such a helter-skelter of emotions! It must be really difficult when your OH is in Canada - I would find it really difficult to be nice and positive to him when I felt I had the bum deal! Emails wouldn't be too bad but phone calls would NOT show me as a happy bunny - I would end up either in tears or arguing.

How about a nice big glass of wine? Might help you sleep? There's always Phenergan?

Thinking of you

House on since late Feb and bugger all.

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

You all have my sympathies....to an extent.

Way back in Oct 04 I put my UK place on the market and a month later left for Canada. I finally sold it in Oct 05 for 20k less than original asking price. In the intervening period I had bought a place in Canada and was paying two mortgages for 4-5 months. The stress of all this was just about intolerable and the relief when the house was finally sold was only tempered by the collapse in the bloody exchange rate at the same time.

Still, they say what doesn't kill us, makes us fat so I put it all down to life's rich tapestry and moved on.

Oh Burtie girl I'm sorry to hear about the house - with all the rest of the stuff going on with you I completely forgot you have a bloomin house to sell too!!

I feel bad for you and everyone who is selling - I swear there is some sort of fake propaganda going round that there is a housing shortage and that people are buying willy nilly!! It's a downright lie I am sure of it LOL

We had ours on for three months and one viewing, in the end we sold it privately for £16k less than it was worth but the stress relief it gave us was immense and the property value over here now has probably evened it out so I wish all of you the best of luck and if you can, maybe consider dropping the prices just to ease your minds (I know it's not possible for everyone and it upset me a bit to have to drop ours so much but you do what you gotta if you can...)

Hang on in there though everyone and your dreams of being here WILL be a reality and you will think back on this with, well sh*t memories but at least you will be remembering them in a new country!!

Good luck and many hug vibes xxxx

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

Hang on in there!!

we had the same anxiety trying to sell our house we were on market for 4 weeks then dropped the price, we have now sold to first time buyers, so cant be bad. On market in total for around 6 weeks. Not many viewings, even though the estate agent said market moving very quickly, it didnt seem to be happening for us.
Check the contract you signed with the agent though, we were tied with them as sole agents for eight weeks.

Anyway hang on in there it will happen!!

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

Oh I am sending massive house-selling karma your way! Bring on the sales I say!

We're putting ours on the market in two weeks and all your stories are terrifying me!!!!! First time selling so quite anxious!

Gay - hang in there. You're very brave - I know I couldn't be here indefinitely if hubby was over there!

em xoxo

Re: Feeling bit fed up
 

Thank you ever so much, to everybody who has replied, you have given excellent advice. I have checked with our details that we signed and we only have to give the agents two weeks notice if we want to leave, so not too bad.

However, we have decided to give them another couple of weeks to see how things go. :unsure:

Gay, bless you, can sympathise with being away from your OH for such a long length of time and being responsible for everything at home, my hubby is in the forces and regularly goes away, althought he longest trip away that he's done is 6 months.

Good luck to all that have their houses on the market, I'm sending out good vibes (and keeping a few back for us as well :p ).
