Thanks will look into it...

Our solcitors are pants but we're stuck with them unless we can find another wad of cash for marketing costs..

Well we've had a chat with reltives who are going to take us in should the worst come to the worst, it will be very difficult for all parties concerned but sometimesyou have to do these things when times are tough and this blinking recession has hit us very hard....

little question. why do you need cash to change solicitors?

Here's a success story - you just need to keep at it and don't give up if you want to move!
House went on market July 2007, eventually sold August 2009, after 3 failed attempts to go through!
Went into rented house whilst looking.
Exchanged contracts on 8th April 2010, become homeowners again on 23rd April 2010!
It's taken a while but we've moved, me my wife two cats and four kids, just over 200 miles into the house that we want!
Good luck and keep at it the rest of you!

Good grief!!! From July 2007 to August 2009. Obviously I don't know your circumstances, but surely there was a huge swing in property values between 2007 & 2009. Are you saying you had to keep dropping the price to get a sale?

@ NEH. What's cash & solicitors got to do with anything, if you are still at the selling stage?

We live in Scottieland and Solicitors sell houses here. We would have to pay again to have it advertised in the Solicitors Property Centre (one big website/shop that covers all solicitors properties in that area) for our area...

Thank you so much i have just spoken to the council office and we are eligible for exemption and best of all we can get it backdated for the last 7 months which will mean 6 months of council tax back plus 50% back for last month as we're now on the 50% discount....:j

Yeh you just have the awful game of trying to guess what everyone else has put in and hope that your's is the highest. I prefer the English system
