Just picking up on your comment about a month for a mortgage. my son moved to Matthews (near Charlotte NC) last August and he and his american wife had to wait at least 6 months to get a credit rating from Bamk Of America before anyone would look at them:T

hi Clive

I was in the US in January and I've done all the pre-application tests.
I have a loan waiting for me from Wells Fargo if required. But I'm buying brand new so getting a mortgage from the builders (Maronda) as they are offering a better rate. I've done all the pre-application stuff with them too and they say there's no problem getting a loan either... he says crossing his fingers...

nah... got another estate agent on the job at the weekend. she's a bit of a straight talker... but at the end of the day said give her 4 weeks. if she can't sell it then i might as well rent it out.

she was really good actually. my house was on for a realistic price. a price the first estate agent obviously thought i wanted... this one has put it on for a price where it will (hopefully) sell.

i've got 3 months to sell now...

anyone??

bit of a headache for you though
end of day, you shouldn't lose out if you get a good long term rental

i'm thinking of moving maybe later in the year, when it may have bottomed out....hopefully!

House moving is a nightmare at the best of times never mind the way the market is now.
