Re: Moving House
Susie , I am disappointed for you, and hope the cottage works out in the long run. I would think that in the summer months that there would be a lot of interest home purchasing - especially before school starts back up - so I am hopeful for you!.Nice job standing your ground, Swimfeeders. We had the reverse encounter when the seller's real estate agent attempted to create a phony bidding war. When we discovered what was going on, we let the offer lapse, put in a new one for $20K less, told the seller's agent we knew what he was up to, and that the sellers had 24 hours to accept or we were finished. They accepted. Even better, the seller's agent had an ethics letter filed against him to help ensure that he and others didn't try such nonsense again.

Re: Moving House
HiAll sorts of things when you are moving.
Car Insurance has gone up £160 a year, house insurance, for a much smaller house, up £140.
It is all down to postcodes and crime rates, far fewer crimes in a small village.
I will have to get used to the traffic as well, here in the village a traffic jam is three tractors on the crossroads.
I will also have to get used to locking my house and car doors, never bother here.
Staying in for deliveries will be another thing, here they just leave them by the front door.

Hi
Very true Muddy, life was hell when I could not drive for a while.
That was one of the big reasons for moving, I can just walk to things in the new house.

Re: Moving House
HiThe saga continues.
Found out this morning removal company I had booked could no longer do the move on Thursday, admin error they said.
Spent a frantic time ringing round and now got someone, but paying through the nose for it.
They don't move fish tanks either, so now got to find someone to do that as well.
I will be so glad when this is all over.
