Re: For sale sign on my house....
First house we sold, we came home one night to find that Dixons had put the for sale sign in the next door but ones garden. They were most suprised as they weren't planning on moving, and the service we received for the rest of the time from Dixons lived up to that standard, including financial advice to cash in a long standing endowment policy and take out another through them.

Re: For sale sign on my house....
Crikey drove up the road yesterday and someone has been and put up the for sale sign on my house. I know its because I have put it up for sale but its really weird seeing it there after so long living here (my first house I have owned) does everyone feel the same way when they see the sign that effectively is ending a chapter of your life 
just put house back on market after a few months and agent has forgot to put it up don't think I'll remind them.

Re: For sale sign on my house....
Yea I know I aint exactly crying here mate It does feel wierd though the first time ever selling a house. I mean straight out the forces and buy this and live here almost seven years. Its been a great house and we will miss it. No way its that great it will keep us here in the UK though
Its just another part of this state of limbo I am in with all thats happened over the last few months
and me now being unemployed after handing my notice in. Things are happening that a few months ago would have been unthinkable of course for a good few years yet so its all feeling really alien now, the for sale sign was another part of that is all.
bollocks I was doing so well there..........

Knock a few quid off the price, or tell her you will decorate to her choice, she might want different colours.

Re: For sale sign on my house....
One of our houses sold in an hour :curse:
It had been up for sale for about a month, only one sniff.
A guy I did some plumbing work for who worked in an agents said "Have you sold your house yet" not yet, "I will sell that for you easy" yeah right I thought.
"If its not sold by Saturday I will pop round and photo it and put it on our books"
So Sat comes round, I go out to do a little job, come back and said "did Ian call in and photo the house"
"Its sold" she said, "what, your having a laugh"
"No, he took the photo and went, came back about half an hour later with a couple he had just shown another property to, they didn`t like it so he told them another one has just come on the market this morning and showed them ours and they loved it"
