House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!

Yesterday we had our first new viewers after our original buyers pulled out on Thursday so it feels good now to find that the first ones, (again!), have made an offer to the agent this morning.

We were a bit fed-up on Thursday but looking at the market I thought we should try again straight away and suggested we go back up to the original valuation and these buyers have offered near enough that amount without batting an eyelid so that was a good move as it's £7000 more than the first buyers!

We have another viewing today and we have told the agent that we will probably accept this offer if today's viewers do not seem impressed as the first couple are in no hurry and really want this house, which for us is great.

We can also up our budget now and maybe get that illusive 2-bed house! stevmk2

Re: House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!

Second viewing just now - very picky people and I think that they will have problems with so many "tick-boxes" to fill!

This house is 89 years old so it's not likely to have the kind of "spec" they seem to be looking for so I was a bit bemused by them.
Surely they did some research first?

We told the agent we are happy with the first couple so she will be on to them later.

Just got to find a house for us now!

Surprised your house is 89 years old Steve, I thought MK was a 'new' town ?

I think you would do right to 'stick' with the first couple
Best wishes to you

Re: House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!

The very best of luck to you Steve, but it's a long rocky road this house selling business, we've been trying to sell a very nice four bedroomed semi since February. We are now on our third buyers for one reason or another and are once again due to exchange contracts this coming week, which is usually the time when the buyers to decide to divorce instead...

There really should be a better way.....
