PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

We have bitten the bullet, and put the house on the market.
Everything has been put away, and it looks fairly presentable. We like it here, and in all honesty we don't want to sell. The sooner we find somewhere we would actually like to move to, the better.

No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

I haven’t sold a property for a few years and when I did it was from 200 miles away
Everything went like clockwork, brilliant EA and I got a good offer from the first person who viewed it. It didn’t take as much time as it appears to these days.
I hope yours goes as smoothly.1 -

Good luck. You know you can always change your mind - see how you feel when you look at other properties.
It's a great opportunity for you though, I think.2 -
We have tidied up, and cleared horizontal surfaces that I haven’t seen since we moved in.
