Re: House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!

It sounds good to me Steve it brightens up the house and makes you feel as your doing them a service, but not always? Don't over do it, as some don't alway's appreciate it

My first viewer that called last week is coming back tomorrow for a second viewing and seems very interested, fingers crossed

Re: House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!

Sounds promising, stevmk2.
To those trying to sell, just remember it only takes one interested person and that will happen. I put my house on the market in June, all online and with signs I had made. Had a few enquiries early on, and three or four viewings, one guy coming three times to view. He made an offer, but it was way too low. Then a lull, a couple of enquiries and viewings in August, and at the beginning of this month I had two more interested viewers. Both made offers. I was very happy to be in the position to choose my buyers, who I knew absolutely loved the house and plan for it to their 'forever home'. So when I get home, I will be fully occupied with clearing out and packing to move in November.

Oh, and since selling, despite marking all my online ads 'sale agreed STC' I've had several more enquiries! But I've given my word to my buyers that I will not take any more viewings.

Buyers are out there, just be patient.

We were in the same boat Sur and now are trying to find a home ASAP.

Our buyer rents in London and has said she's happy to wait but for how long?

Good Luck Sue! stevmk2

Well they came and brought a friend with them this time? It was all touch and go and frightening as i didn't want the friend to put them off, as he had bought 2 houses before and the couple were first time buyers so i was a little nervous.
Anyway i found out that they still like the house and might be sending someone to check out if there's some damp in a certain area.
But as i was told from the Agents they have another house to view first... So i'm sat here limbo at the moment

Always worth considering renting for a while rather than risk losing the sale, and cash in the bank is a handy negotiating tool when you do find the right property.
