Finally the weekend, only a couple of hours left hin the office :beer:

I am armed with the winning Euromillion Jackpot lottery ticket, and will surely enjoy spending my £100 million from tomorrow morning onwards...:j:j:j:j

A few things planned this weekend, but nothing much.. House valuation and the usual chores..

Hope everybody is well!

Cheers
Froggy :cool:

I just got my house valued on Zoopla and got a pleasant surprise, values have dropped but it still looked a decent sum. Fingers crossed for you, Froggy.
It was supposed to be warmer today, but I think my region missed out. I'm sat here wearing a fleece rather than put the heating on. Had to put it on the other evening when it was just too chilly. Remembering last winter arriving in November, I am none too optimistic!

Thanks, am hoping its gonna be a decent valuation, and hoping too to get to know how much they sold the similar house in our street for, that would give us a clear indication on how the market is heading...

The lawnmower has just died on me..Great, just what I needed, not..I am not made of money...:mad:

All the houses sold in recent years on my street are on Zoopla, Froggy, perhaps your street is on there too? I would find out from Zoopla and then ask as well, a good way of finding out how honest they are!

Ouch at the lawnmower, anyone you could borrow one from? The lawn won't need many more cuts before winter sets in now so be a shame to have to spend on one especially if you are moving.

Well done on the Currys result though! About time something went your way. Fingers crossed for a pleasing valuation tomorrow.

Hi Cath

The valuation went well.. To recap we bought our house in November 06, for £148K (we borrowed £152K), our mortgage is down to £137.5K.. They valued the house at £145K with a view to sell it at £140K, with a 1.5% + vat fee, with no tie ins.. This would leave us with no equity at all (but we knew that already)..

This estate agent sold a similar place to ours for £135K round the corner, within 4 days of putting it on the market.. Our plot is bigger, and we also have open views on fields at the back and a conservatory..

We would move with OH's £6K bonus in November + a potential £10K relocation package.. We would go on to rent down South, whilst building up a decent enough deposit to buy another place..
We have decided to change the flooring in the kitchen, and then put the house on the market to test the water..

Cheers
Froggy
