The buying ride's a breeze compared to the selling ride

How's your mum/househunting going? I think you've despaired and given up as you've not mentioned it lately

LIR's gone quiet on her RP/Non-RP purchase options too.

Officially given up on moving, which is fine.

Selling not going so well, 6 viewings, 3 said upstairs too small (true), 3 didn't respond to agents post viewing messages. Agent has a few more lined up but I am loathe to bother the tenants again. Thoughts?

If the rent is coming in and they are happy, I would hold off. If you were over priced, wait a bit longer and prices will rise to meet your expectation.

Have invitation to supper on Saturday, need to return call tomorrow. Feeling good today so tempted to accept. Don't know what tomorrow brings so concerned to.

Dither, dither, dither.

Know the host well enough to disappear and kip, don't know other guests at all, so will forever be 'that weird woman who just...went to bed'

Don't say no if you can go and disappear if you need to. Enjoy what you can and no matter what people think (or don't think, in reality).

I have been the weird woman that went to bed on a few occassions. I'd get overwhelmed and my tonsils would let me down seriously . Now i just get overwhelmed and go to bed without the pain.

Main aim is to get planning permission but negotiations with planners have reached impass where expense and uncertainty of appealing is the only option.

Meanwhile renting agent gave a 'silly' selling valuation which would mean most of the profit could be achieved without planning permission so we are 'flying a kite' by trying to sell at this price. So the question is is one set of viewings enough to ascertain that I was right and agent was wrong about valuation or should we give them another 10 days and 1 more set of viewings at the expense of putting out the tenants. I have already told the tenants that of course they can stay to the 6 month break point in the tenancy and that if we ask them to move out in less than the first year of the AST then we will meet their moving and re-tenanting (contract, cleaning, inventory, credit check etcf) costs in return for their cooperation with letting us do viewings.

I used to be basically fluent in French although it's now just reasonable.

I sat next to a Spanish bloke at work for a while. After a few months it suddenly clicked, I could understand pretty much everything he was saying. It was an amazing experience quite honestly.

Presumably, house prices don't have to rise at the current rate for long before you make a substantial profit. :beer::T
