In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Our vendors were just particularly hopeless, they didn't even seen to know where they wanted to move to!

    Until you are in a position to move what's the point in looking? As you can only buy from what's available in the market at the time to purchase.

    We had two or three viewers (can't remember how many exactly!) who viewed our house but were looking anywhere in a 20 mile radius. It's pretty frustrating when the feedback you get is 'its a lovely house but in the wrong town!'
