Hi, thanks for that. We are hoping to move close to Peterborough in Ontario, ideally we are looking around Youngs Point, Lakefield area as we want waterfrfont property. How far are you in the process??

Thanks, how long has your house been on the market, ours had been on since last August, we were just about to take it off until the spring and then hey presto. Houses are definately moving there are quite a few sold signs going up around me.

Hello. I've just noticed that you both are from Teynham. How far down the line are you? Hubby and I are from Larkfield, and have landed and returned to the UK to sort out my horses and all the related stuff, and hubsters bonus which he now has! I've got to get through Xmas, Jan/Feb, my 40th early March then on way 12th March!

Re: FINALLY THE HOUSE HAS SOLD
 
Congratulations on the sale.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Can you now arrange a buyer for us too?????

Mandy has been in Red Deer since August, I'm still sitting here in Scotland awaiting a buyer for the house.

Contacted a different estate agent this morning as the muppets who have been "dealing" with the sale for the last 14 months are being given the boot.

We asked for accompanied viewings when we placed the house on the market, so far I have dealt with all of the viewings, seems like they want 1% of the sale price for acting as a telephone answering service. We also had to keep chasing them for feedback after the viewings, one time I left it for 10 days before reminding them. Not acceptable, so here's hoping the new lot are better.

Once again our congratulations on your sale, just hope ours is not too far into the future too.

Kev & Mandy

Re: FINALLY THE HOUSE HAS SOLD
 
Congratulations. I'm hoping to move next summer. Was going to put mine on the market in Feb, because of the winter slowdown. Now I'm wondering if I should try sooner. It must be so stressful waiting over a year to sell.

Think it depends on where you are and what price :D
Ours is staying on through the winter, they are still selling here only the runs below us ( cheaper ) but it should work its way up eventually :unsure:
Might put an advert in the eve standard ? it will probably be someone from London that will buy ours :D

I know that area well. It's $$$$ pricey for waterfront. I can recommend a good realtor for you.

If you looked SE of Peterborough you would find property much cheaper.

Edit. I see this is an old thread revived. So the info is probably useless.

Hi, The Wortleys are still here, moved into rented house in Jan, with the hope of moving over around June time, unfortunately my mom has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer so all on hold now, Mom comes first. We dont know how long we have her for so we will just have to wait and see. How are things going with you?
