hi all can i join you


i put my house up for sale mid november of last year we have not had any viewings at all, you start to get paranoid about it after a while, i know where you coming from when you say its stressfull & getting you down we put house up at £169,950 ( priced in middle of 5 estimations ) we drop price £5,000 in jan & drop £5,000 again end of march. our E/A says sit tight housing market is very very quiet around where we live . monkeys bunny good luck for your big day :beer:

Gosh thats a long time you've been waiting sell. Sounds like its not the price and just demand in the area which obviously isnt something you can influence.
Mines been on 5 days and im feeling impatient already.:o
Theres houses I want to view but wont let myself until after an offer is accepted on my property.

We have three cars!! Well, sold one on the weekend, but one is mine, and DH has one (third was run-around). We park across the road, in another road leading to some flats (they have their own car parks so don't use the bit we park on) or there is parking further up the road, and in other side roads.

It's do-able, just a bit of aggro if you have shopping and kids to manage. We've been managing it for months, but I can see why it would put buyers off.

Why would you need a third as a run around? why cant you use one of your other cars as a run around? Are they trucks/vans or something?

Sorry just my curious mind.

Um, Az was just saying in that post that she's sold the third one .... tho the query as to why there was *ever* a third one still applies, I guess :rotfl: over to you Az, sock it to us

We've got a viewing on Sunday through a new agent - the second viewing in 3 months!

We've ordered new carpets today - hubby is painting all the rooms -we've dropped the price to £15,995 from £16,995.
The kitchen already looks nicer after a fresh coat of paint and some tiles around - it's not bad.

We're doing all we can on our side I just hope that once it's all done that we get new pictures out and hopefully some offers!!

Is there a digit missing from your prices?

And failing that, go for the cheapest. If you're going to be getting rubbish service, you might as well pay a little for it as a lot

Hehe

A prime example of rubbish service - I handed my current EA their 21-day notification for termination of contract last night and rather than ask why I was leaving or if there was anything they could change about their service, their reply was:

"Oh. OK."

Hi Heffsta,

It was the second car till DH bought a 7 seater for work not so long ago...so until we sold it over the weekend, it was the 'run-around' car

Good riddance to bad rubbish Detour, get someone more 'on-the-ball' to market and sell your house. An enthusiastic agent that works for their money can do wonders to help get people through the door and sell the house.

We had a viewing on the 23rd, no feedback once again. 3 viewings with our EA and its the 3rd time it's happened. Apparently this time its some couple moving up from London to live closer to family and viewing a lot of properties. Snooty woman on the phone when I called ''it's not just you Mrs ....., I have 10 other people wanting feedback too''. Just about had enough!
