How to sell my house, with no money?

Here's a controversial way for the OP to resolve this issue.

Get a job.

Oh heck...Dan....you mean you might be living in my neighbourhood?:eek::rotfl:. I think I'll take a chill pill and have a lie-down at that thought....

Well...I would if I wasnt out for another walk in a minute (translation = get up to my knees in mud (again!) ).

Well , South West Wales (Pembs) , so maybe a bit of space between us

So you've never been unemployed then? Lucky you.....:cool:

Things started getting harder imo as far back as the late 1970s and it went downhill from then onwards. I've had several spells of unemployment myself and I remember the sheer shock/outrage at my first "redundancy" and then finding myself unemployed (back in the 1980s).

Quite frankly - by the last few years of my worklife I was "hanging on in there" hoping the job would last till 60. Otherwise - it might well have meant unemployment was my lot until retirement age:eek:

No disputing that there are workshy people around - but, on the other hand, long-term unemployment (or permanent unemployment) can happen to quite a few people.

Well that's a delightful story, but of zero relevance.

Oh and if your credit rating is good you can get a loan from a credit card for a year and just pay 1.9%.

Are you sure that's not 1.9% per month rather than per annum?

101% relevant. OP is having employment problems - for whatever reason. There is every chance those employment problems arent their fault/choice. I can perfectly well understand how someone could get to be unemployed and find that a realistic assessment of their chances could mean drawing the conclusion that it would be "Some time - if ever" before they got a job again. Reason being - noticeable health problems and/or they had got to an age (ie late middle age) where they thought employers would pass them over and give the job to younger people.

There is a third reason I can instantly think of that is applicable in some parts of the country too - as that would apply to me and so I know it would be an absolute waste of time applying for a public sector job (or a few private sector ones) regardless of how well-qualified/experienced I was for it. Maybe OP is on the receiving end of that one too....

But I'm guessing that OP has got a long-term severe health problem and has assessed their chances of finding another job as not very good - and, if so, I sympathise.

I dont know Money to be honest , i am moving from the home counties to west wales and all 3 companies i asked for a quote ask for half up front due to the distance of the move , makes sense i guess!

Ours were also long distance, but payment in full was requested by large and small removal companies that quoted for us.

I didn't think it was anything to do with distance, but more the amount of stuff/length of time to load & unload (5 days)/cost involved (around 4K).......

I hope you aren't suggesting that I claimed they were.

yes you are guessing.
Other people may equally guess that the OP just can't be bothered.

I guessed at nothing though, I just made a suggestion that no-one else seemed to consider.
The OP can come and explain why getting a job isn't an option if indeed it isn't. Their opening post didn't explain.
