Hi

Our house has been on the market three weeks and we have a viewing tomorrow evening. Someone wants to UPsize so hopefully ours is UP enough for them.

OH keeps taking the p**s saying should he use he shower, don't want to see water droplets on the door when anyone looks in the bathroom and should he use the towels that I have so neatly folded GGGRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link to our house Alexander Chase, Ely - 4 bed Modern Attached

or here 3rd one down UK Estate agents with homes, houses & property for sale on rightmove.co.uk

Good Luck everyone with homes to sell
Caz

Karen K will become famous soon enough
House on the market since Feb. Seven viewing, one offer (28,000 below asking price, so did not accept) No viewings in April. Phone call from estate agents to state the obvious, HOUSES ARE JUST NOT SELLING, THE MARKET IS C--P........so wait we will have to do. If visa arrives before the house sells we are going to consider renting instead of giving it away. X

Hi
We have been up for sale since September and had loads of viewing. No offers whatsoever. We are now on our second agent and have also knocked our price down £12k.

I have tried the feng shui and st joseph statue to no avail!! The only positive side is prices are dropping in Australia so what we lose here we should gain there (here's hoping!!!)

Put property on the market yesterday so new to all this.

Have any of you seen this website property snake -- home -- find falling house prices in your area it shows you all the properties in your area that have sold - what they reduced their price to and how many days they were on the market. Its quite interesting.... or am I just a nerd

Just sell it

We are also on our second agent, been on the market since january 08. Had 3 viewings in total. House on for £389 originally, been offered £340 by 1st viewer, said no though, now on for offers in region of £349. Not expecting to get visa til early 09 but my view is except the 1st reasonable offer you get as the market just keeps getting worse. If you dont except an offer now you might be excepting it in a years time. Everyone was happy when the house prices kept rising over the last few years but just cant except the fact that they are now dropping. Sell, get out to Oz, sit back and relax in the sun and forget all about it. Hopefully you will see your Ozzy house price increase.

Sounds familiar

All the stress of passing the TRA and medicals has paled into insignificance compared to the house sale. We, like many, will have to consider renting it out if we can't sell at a reasonable price; either that or wait a few years before moving, by which time the kids will be adults and may not want to come with us - which may scupper the whole venture. Why didn't we put the house on the market last summer?? It's so frustrating.
