  • Well, if you're all dying to know! We asked for 155 and they agreed. That should help cover our estate agents and moving costs. If it all goes through, of course.

    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.

    Thaks for your replies yesterday.

    We went back and explained our position, and have now agreed a slightly higher offer.

    So, if it all goes through smoothly, we have now sold our house.

    :beer:

    my vendors did just this when i bought my house on the market at 165,000 and i offered (cheeky i know) 150,000 (i didnt expect them to go for that but to get into negociation on the price) we settled on 152,500 (i was gobsmaked ) this was on the day the property went on the market and it was a done deal by lunchtime!! one other person viewed the property and a week later offered full asking price but they declined as far as they were concerned it was a done deal as i had already had a survey!! thankfully!!

    good luck with your move!
