    Our buyer has been qualified by our EA's own MA so happy days. :j

    Just waiting for the solicitor details so we can go SSTC. Also had our offer accepted on the one we want to buy.

    Lets hope it all goes well and we can move over to the waiting to exchange thread.

    We are sold subject to contract!

    Our buyer has provided all necessary details, our offer has been accepted on our onward purchase and I'm going to see my mortgage broker on Tuesday.

    Time for us to move over to the waiting to exchange thread.

    Good luck to everyone selling, the market seems to have had a surge this last week so fingers crossed for all of you.

    After going to fixed price had our first 3 viewers today, 2 first time buyers and a BTL person so I guess I will spend tomorrow staring at the phone....

    I've sold, STC. Only a week on the market. 12 viewings. Cash buyer so no chain. Accepted 5k below asking price.

    Another purchaser has since offered £10k above asking price, but they're not proceedable. They highlighted an issue I'd not thought of - they're from London and say properties often sell the first day they're on the market, so they were waiting until they found somewhere to buy before marketing their house.

    Tomorrow I'm spending the day house hunting 250 miles from home (6am start!). Three on my shortlist so fingers crossed one of them is suitable (and 2 of the 3 have been on the market for over a year).

    Then I'll move to the 'Waiting to Exchange' thread.

    I've been fortunate. Good luck to everyone still waiting for a buyer.

    Good luck, phone staring becomes a way of life when selling.

    Well done! Hope it all works out, hope the next month or so goes very smoothly for you!

    It's a rollercoaster of emotions!

    I was so high yesterday after 3 viewings, 2 of which seemed REALLY positive and not a squeak from the agent today so far. I had really convinced myself 1 of them would offer but nothing yet.

    Now I am so depressed.

    Sending positive thoughts your way. It does take some people a while to get round to offering.
