Hi
Our House is up for sale with HN at the moment, been up for about 2 months now. 6 viewings and 1 offer accepted 3 weeks ago, but sale just fallen through. Really frustrated and considering going with local agent as I know it will sell within a matter of weeks.
Just hate the thought of paying £2.5k to the Estate Agent :mad:
May just have to wait a few more weeks and see what happens. Wanted to move before Xmas really but the way the market is at present don't think this will happen.
Must admit though, the service HN has provided has been excellent, just a little slow on viewings but I suppose everywhere is like that at the moment :rolleyes:0 -
Well, have been on the market for 2 weeks now and still had NO viewings!!
I don't know if it is because it is a slow market and it is the same everywhere or because we are with housenetwork.
This is our property - if anyone has any comments on what we are doing wrong - feel free:

Why is your house £10k better than number 29 is the big question.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -
1. Number 29 does not have a garage or driveway
2. Number 29 was a complete mess inside
If you look at other properties in the area there are many on there for £140,000 and lots have sold at around £135,000 so I do not think we are overpriced.0 -
We are expecting to get around £130,000 for ours and have had 4 estate agents round all of whom priced ours between 135,000 - 140,000.0

I can't work out where the "driveway" is, cos to me it should be either at the front or rear of the house. It isn't at the front from the picture so is it at the bottom of the garden?

With stamp duty kicking in at £125,001 you might have some difficulty.We are expecting to get around £130,000 for ours and have had 4 estate agents round all of whom priced ours between 135,000 - 140,000.A house isn't a home without a cat.

Yes we thought this may be a problem, but the estate agents assured us that properties have sold for around £132,000 and we have checked online to see exactly what they sold for and that is correct!
However, estate agents are not the most trustworthy people!!!
Will see how it goes for the next couple of weeks and then may reduce the price.
Thanks for the info.0 -
We actually had ours on the market in May, but had to temporarily withdraw and we had an offer on it for £131,000 FTB - However, I know the market is much slower now0
