To those selling in these difficult times

pawpurrs

Have sent you a message. Another weekend is nearly upon us, any one got any viewings lined up?
MArc any feedback from your last three? Heres to some offers this week.
Spring is nearly sprung, so lets hope that brings some positive news.

Not seen anything else to look at. A couple of overpriced properties - but nothing new in my viewing search...
Lots of activity at the lower end of the market in terms of price reductions though (wider search so not viewing material - just noseyness)
And more strange activity from one of our local EA.

Well ... are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

They have got a house on their site , no pic or details yet, but already sold. Can't have been on more than 48 hrs. Not a cheap bargain either.

Loads of houses suddenly appear and go SSTC (also not bargains) but the ones that have been there for a long time are still unsold.

They only have some properties on rightmove - so I have to check their own site fairly often too.

I just think they're pretending to sell properties. It's nice to know I can check the data in a few months too.

Maybe you should keep record of these so called 'sold' properties (ie print them off their website)... then in a few months, you'll have evidence for trading standards.

Just a quick update from me...

We've got a viewing booked for tomorrow, They're going to see the local school afterwards. (Good sign?)

They are a 'new' couple and both have houses, hers is sold, his is on the market. Hubby thinks they would need to sell both houses before being able to offer, is that right?

Good luck for everyone for this weekend....

ANy news Pawpurrs?

pawpurrs

Oh No Devil, So sorry to hear that, whats the reason?
Good Luck with that Viewing Jenny.

No news here :mad: EA has left messages and they have not returned their calls.......how rude can you get, after saying they would deffo offer by yesterday........fair enough if they have changed their minds, but you would have thought they could just make a simple phone call?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

sorry to hear that devilot i know exactly where your coming from thats the worst phonecall you can get especially if you dont get a proper reason. our buyer pulled out after 2mnths only 2 days before exchange and said it was due to the septic tank we had to laugh we dont even have a septic tank and there isnt one anywhere near us after that she refused to answer messages left by my EA and solicitor so we never did get to the bottom of it. i feel for you too pawpurrs it all sounded so good last wkend dont give up hope till you get the call but sometimes i cant believe how rude people are i would never not call back even if i was dreading it its called good manners.

Pawpurrs: It's like a cat playing with a mouse....or is it? Do you think they may be having problems with the finances? People are peculiar about money sometimes and stall rather than tell the truth.

Devilot: Comisserations! Read your story on the other thread & it seems almost unbelievable that your agents can be so useless in the current sales climate. What happened to the other folk you showed around? Are they still on the scene at all?

Jenny: New couple sound good, but may take some time just to become proceedable. Won't tell you how long our buyers took, but they did prove that committed people will hold on to a particular dream, even for....er, a long time! Best of luck with them, anyway
