Re: how have u managed / coped???
Every house will sell if the price is right. Every house will sell quickly if the price is less than right.
If you can't afford to live apart then you really need to think about biting the bullet and dropping the price of your house to a level it will sell quickly. It's not nice, I know, but sometimes you have to take what you can and move on.

Make sure your agent knows what happens at these and what to expect. tell them to watch bbc1 at 11am
Ours seem to lost the plot with ours, hey but our agent got the 14days to get ours house of there books, looks like it only took them 7 days as we are off rightmove etc etc etc

Re: how have u managed / coped???
Oh if only life were that easy. Even if you sell the house for 10% of what you want it to go at you still have to run the chain shit. Ours has failed 3 times now even though our buyers are still in place and waiting to buy it. Selling is half the problem, having a chain of 3 or 4 houses under you is crap.
However, it can still be an effective strategy. In a falling market there is much more incentive for a buyer to string out the process in the hope of finding somewhere cheaper before exchanging contracts. If you are offering your house at a bargain price you might be able to negotiate a better deal in other respects: a non-refundable deposit, or a rapid exchange (it can be done if everyone wants it to happen).
