Re: House Viewing No 5
Hope you have more luck than me. I too was due to show somebody round today, chain free investor.
Agent called 20 mins before to say the viewers son broke their pelvis last night and she is at the hospital and won't be able to make it.This would have been our 4th viewing.
Hopefully she will be back soon for a look
Good luck

Re: House Viewing No 5 - RAGING NOW
RAGING
Just had a couple walk around the house.. who loved the house so much that their repeated the lovely word a few times. So I was smiling with joy….I’m on a winner here.
The husband was a friendly chap but the wife was a talk down woman, the pushy type. So the woman started with the house lovely and we would like to make an offer and we have no chain.... Yes I said that is brilliant (I already knew this information).
We would like to make an offer but taking off the stamp duty (8K) so I said I would meet her half way. So the cheeky lady and that is me saying it politely said we would like to make an offer 13K under the asking price, as we have no chain. So I said no way I would give her half the stamp duty and the minimum I would go is 270k and that is giving you an additional £1000. The stupid woman had a cheek to say no you think about it…WELL THAT WAS LIKE A RED RAG TO A BULL. I turned around and said no I don’t need to think about it the answer is no …..yes it’s a buyers market at the minute and yes you have no chain but I have a lot of interest in this house and I not prepared to let it go for a stupid price….well the woman said we will leave it then…..did she think that I was going to run after her and say please buy my house…..GET REAL.
I’m telling you she will be back on the phone on Monday begging me. Lol. I phoned the Estate Agent and he said she is having a laugh…and well done for sticking to my guns….He said that my house is the only house that is getting viewings it’s a shame that people have to sell their houses or else it would have gone by now.

Re: House Viewing No 5
funny that we just had a viewing and we were the agents because ours were to busy, so we thought yep we will do it, it was a second viewing so we done what we could to try and get it sold.
they too gave us a offer of 15k below the asking price, so they can **** off, we said we would think about it and let them know monday, but we just said that to keep them thinking all week end ha ha
monday we shell say no, because we would rather rent it out if we cant sell it, it just means we would be in rented in canada for a little longer oh well
we are not going to give the bloody thing away

its a horrible time to sell, i even enquired on national homebuyers (on tv) cheeky devils want a £450 valuation fee up front thats probably before they offer you something really stupid too so they win each time :curse:
