  • Well my offer was pulled yesterday citing they have decided to move out of the area - totally gutted

    no offers from 6 viewings that viewed on Saturday

    got 2 more viewings today and agent says there is interest so they are happy with the price

    this selling is hard work

    Sorry to hear that, Crafty. What a mess-around! There's a lot to be said for the Scottish system! It think too many people make offers that they're not serious about following up on. We've definitely had a couple of those but thankfully didn't get as far as accepting and proceeding.

    thanks as a Scot living down in London I much prefer the Scottish system

    oh well onwards and upwards hopefully we get a decent offer shortly

    Sounding hopeful for a couple of you anyway!

    Got another viewing booked for Saturday, the estate agent said they seemed really excited and have booked an appointment with the estate agents mortgage people as well, which seems hopeful lol!

    No feedback from the last 3 viewings as the estate agent can't get hold of any of them, we'll see what happens on Saturday...

    pinkbabe - any interest yet?

    bonfirebride - I'd do the same, was looking at somewhere near a club thats now used as a bikers bar in the middle of nowhere, but I was put off as a lot of the stuff is outside and very loud... But if you've never had a problem, I'm sure they'll see that when they come round

    Craftysaver - thats so annoying! Here's hoping the next couple like it as well - you need abidding bar between them :-)

  • thanks Fudge - before it went on the market we thought it might go this way with a small bidding war the other house near it did - think I have hit the market at the wrong time :mad: would have been sooner if I hadn't had to spend months evicting the tenant from hell

    hope yours go well on Saturday good that they sound excited :j

    I couldn't get back on to post but still no viewers. The EA came out on friday and said the property had only been on a week and to stop worrying. I phoned today and the lady from the EA who had come round on friday is on holiday this week the young man I spoke to was rather vague and said it had been matched with 5 people and he would chase them up. He said he would speak to the manger later as he was in a meeting. Am I being to anxious or do you all feel that they could be doing more. The property is on for a good price for the area.

  • got another 5 viewings for the weekend

    I've told the agent to update the pictures as an objective friend told me they aren't great and make the house look small so hopefully that will help
