…not_loaded - how did the viewing go?

Unfortunately quite difficult to tell. It was to buy for two adult sons and mother (not typical for this type of property) and one son and granddad came to view. They were very quiet and guarded and nipped round fairly quickly. Hard to say whether that’s good or bad. Son did ask right at the end if we’d consider an offer. (my turn to be guarded!) I suggested he bring his mum for a better (and longer) viewing. Dunno about you, but I’d never proceed to an offer without viewing in daylight for a start.

You are too nice !!! I said to my Hubby today if we get any phonecalls after 2pm Friday for viewing Saturday they can forget it - they can come round on Sunday if they still want to !!??… …Then he just went on the market 3 weeks ago and wanted to come for a 2nd viewing - I politely said no and could he come if and when he gets an offer - we'll see if he comes back to us !!!
So stressful as it is, you don't need people like that making it a whole lot worse - stay sane, stay sane !!!!

If we can meet the request we want to. Having said that, every short notice viewing so far has been a complete waste of time. There aren’t many four beds on the market round here, but we just worry about turning anyone away. I suppose a serious buyer would not be put off by a day’s wait? No nerve I’m afraid!

We had our first viewing of the year yesterday which was really positive. As it took me all week to get the house spick and span (with a 2 and 5 year old no less!!!!!) I was hoping for a couple of viewings to make it even more worthwhile but hey ho it was positive and gave me a bit of a boost.

My aim now is to keep the house in ShowHome condition - wish me luck !!!!

Hi everyone, hope some exchanges/completions going through today ??!!

We've got a 2nd viewing tomorrow and trying not to get too excited but is that usually really good news ??!!!

House just needs a last minute dust, hoover, spray and polish as well as 3 loos to clean !!! Wish me luck with 2 little ones around !!

Kymie - I'm waiting with bated breath?

Mrsw - congratulations!!!

Potty - good luck! Must be interested to go for a second viewing.... Fingers crossed.

I met the EA at my house yesterday to take photos for brochure/web etc. I was really concerned as it was forecast snow but actually the weather was perfect. The photos of the river/views looked lovely as there was blue sky and the water was still. Probably not sell the house but at least there was no snow lol! She was very good - spent over an hour getting photos and kept showing me what she'd taken and discussing angles/which shots were best. Together I think we got some good shots - she was ever so patient and was happy for me to move things out the way if I spotted something - I was probably a nightmare for her lol!

Plus I managed to negotiate on her contract as there as a few bits I wasn't happy with - so I now have no tie in period (just 14 days written notice) and sole agency only (not sole selling rights - yippee!) during the time we use her. Also got her fee down which is great - was hard work though! The way I see that is though that she will hopefully work hard for a good price for me if I get an offer/sale!

She's doing the viewings so it's a bit of a nightmare as my Mum is living there but obv works so she has to keep the house to 'showhome' standard all the time in case there is a viewing 'that day'! I can see me nipping down quite a few times to have a quick last minute dust and tidy!

Fantastic news, Kymie!!!

At last, your patience has been rewarded, and although you have a very hectic few days ahead, you're really on the home straight now!:T

I'm so pleased that your whole family can be together again. Well done for hanging in there when lesser folk would have given up.

I'll be thinking of your move next Tuesday. Let's hope you can come back and say that part went like clockwork!!!:)

hi all

havent posted on this thread for a loooong time (months and months!) but im pleased to say that *finally* we received an offer on our house!!!!!! We refused the first offer because it was just slightly too low for us (felt a bit bad doing this after nearly 2 years for sale on and off) but within 10 mins they came back and offered more which was what we had expected so we accepted!! Our buyers are in rented accomodation (ftb's) and cant complete until 1st june so we have time to find somewhere without feeling rushed. solicitors have already been instructed and confirmation of sales letters sent so hopefully wont be too stressful.......famous last words.

Congrats to all who have exchanged/completed/nearly at that point

To all those for sale hang in there its been an awful time for us but finally things are happening.

Pottyhouse - a 2nd viewing is a good thing. our buyers came on monday for a first look, weds for a 2nd viewing and then yesterday put their offer in.

Great news Monica! Fingers crossed it goes smoothly!

Kymie - I'm sooo pleased for you! Whoo hooo! I hope the move goes well, it's never great with littlies but hope it's not too bad. Did you manage to sort anything with your DS and school in the end? I really hope so.... All the best!

There seems to be a few on here heading off into 'completion' land. Great news!
