That's great s-d-w
Fingers crossed. We had a 2nd viewing with the same (parents) but are now waiting for them to have their summer holidays. Hopefully yours will come to fruition quicker than ours might! Debt - CCV £3792

I would love a young couple to have our house. We moved into it in our twenties, and are only just selling it after nearly forty years. I would love another young couple to bring their family up here and love it like we have (AKA HRH_MUngo)

We have an offer....:T...NOT from the young couple....but from the viewers on Saturday who did nothing but find fault!
Quite a bit below asking price but one we are happy to seriously consider. EA says she's going to try to get a little more.
They are FTBs with a good deposit.
Holiday home, here I come!!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Wahooo congratulations!!! We had someone come back to view who we didn't expect to see again so was a bit of a shock. We will wait to see if they make an offer. Sounds like they are away Thurs and Fri and she said she wants everything all sorted by next Sunday so that suits me! Mind you they sound like they want to negotiate on price more than we may be willing to.Debt - CCV £3792

Congratulations on the offer SDW. I have found in the past that the people who love everything never seem to offer, it is always the ones who find fault. I'm not sure how it works but that has happened with every house I've sold, five in all.Sell £1500

I think that if you are serious you are actually looking at what you will do with the property to turn it in to your home so you are far more critical.
We looked at one a while back and the first thing my wife said was "Fire / Fireplace has to go". There was nothing wrong with it, she just did not like it at all so we needed to factor in 2k to replace it.
The one we are trying to buy now needs gutting, new kitchen / bathroom / wardrobes / Fireplace / Fire. The old couple who own it (mid 80's) cant see anything wrong in it at all. They were proud of the kitchen - it was the same units I put in our first house when we got married in 1983.
If you are serious you need to be looking at it that way so I suppose to the homeowner it just looks totally negative.Totally Debt Free & Mortgage Free Semi retired and happy0 -
We are going to tell the EA we will consider the offer.
However, the young couple have a second viewing today, with parents, so we are going to have to tell them about the offer and that the person does not have a place to sell (the young couple do) and also that he has a sizeable deposit. If they want it they are going to have to match that.
We are going to view this on Wednesday (holiday home), so hopefully will be in a position to make an offer if we like it.

The sale and the purchase don't have to complete simultaneously, as long as the sale completes first, so it's not suddenly introducing a chain.
Everything crossed!(AKA HRH_MUngo)
