Weird thing - we got a letter yesterday from one of the big realestate companies, personally addressed, saying someone had approached them who was interested in buying our house and were we intersted in selling!

I don't think so!

Especially not after we've just spent 40 grand on it!!

P2L

Find out how badly they want it first before you say no!!!!

Why not?

Post some pix and we will tell you if you should sell it

RobClubley

What makes you think I have pics?

This is how it was before all the spending

It has big new windows now and lots of primer all over it from the wall insulation going in

House painter starts on Monday

40 grand$ micky mouse money ,UMMM lick of paint a bit of insultation (not spelt wrong) and a couple of new windows .Sell it and reap the profits to buy a more modern home that costs less to run.Beter still subdivide it as well and double the profit.

It'll be because it's so close to the mighty Tawa Rugby Club mate

But most people have a price. Is it really your dream 'forever' house?

I can't imagine ever having one of those, I like to move every 3-4 years. Goodness knows why.

uk+kiwi

It's probably from someone you know!? (the potential buyer, not meaning a hoax letter)

Now who do we know who has recently moved to Wellington who may be looking at buying a house soon? Donna? Danny? Just kidding....

RobClubley

I think you might have something there, hmm

I never want to move again! Certainly not a year after buying the house.

RobClubley

That's soo Kiwi!

Rob, nice compliment though.

Been looking through the picture thread. Great photographs, mate.

The agency I work for often sell houses that never come to the market - someone they know (from their databases) will approach them and say they'd like such a house and they (I) write to the homeowner and tell them they have a buyer if they're interested in selling.

Are there good schools nearby Rob? It's usually because someone needs/wants to be in a particular school area. Or, they've really got their heart set on living in a particular street.

If anyone would like to buy ours...... we'll talk We're like UK Kiwi - every couple of years we move

RobClubley

I'm told that Tawa has good schools so maybe that's it. It's on a nice 1/4 acre section too which could be subdivided if you felt inclined.

We'll never do that because we think it'd ruin the place, and it'd mean cutting down the fruit trees.

Rob, I know how you feel! We've done work to ours too, but even before that we just love it so much I think it would take something pretty humungous to make us even consider selling. I want to end my days here.
