Well, after nearly 6 months on the market the house has finally sold. I thought this might be a ray of hope for others in the same situation as we were. Also, my brothers house was on the market for a few weeks more than ours and his sold last week. So hopefully things in the housing market are moving (even if it is slowly).

Having said that we did have to drop £12,500 but we would have had to spend loads on a holiday to validate our visas so i'm fairly happy as now we will be able to get out there just before that deadline. And as our estate agents said the market value of our property has dropped since we first went on the market so we did need to adjust our expectations.

So now all the scary organising for the move can start.....
