Guest Batfinktasha Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 congrats! That's a relief for you. we haven't sold but going anyway and am now struggling to decide between leaving the house on rent or leave it on for sale for a bit longer. What do others think? its such a nightmare!:arghh::skeptical::nah::no::unsure: Thank you. I reckon if you have the choice to rent then do it. We werent in that position as our mortgage was too high to rent it out plus we needed the fund from the sale , so had to sell. If you have enough funds to survive out there and rent then that for me would be the choice. Good luck with what ever you decide. Tx:hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choices are leave it for sale and convert the mortgage to interest only which is affordable or rent it for the value of the mortgage repayments and sell later when the market has improved,but will it ever:v_SPIN: at the moment,we are marketing it for sale and instructed the EA to show it to tenants looking for property like ours. All the best to all trying to sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SophieB Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi everyone, We got our visas in 2009 and did a 5 week recce in April this year to make sure we were certain. Our house has been on the market since we got home in May (so 5 months) and we have had over 20 viewings including 3 or 4 second viewings but only one offer of £30K under our asking price. I pretty much know we are going to make a loss on the house, after all we bought it in October 2007. We're just waiting for a price that's anywhere near reasonable. We are in the West Midlands in a nice area and have a standard 3 bed semi with lovely garden (am I selling it to you??!!) and we bought it in the first place because we knew it would be easy to sell (haha) well, at least much easier than the previous house we had. We don't plan on emigrating until next summer but we're desperate for things to happen in the right order to reduce the stress. We just don't want to rent out, it's such a risk and it leaves massive ties behind. Sophie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sebbers Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well we agreed our sale a couple of weeks ago, survey has been done and solicitors instructed it seems after almost 4 years after we started this journey we are soon to be on our way. We are selling to someone we know so hopefully the sale will complete without any problems, we are hoping to go late Feb. I have had one or two 'wobbles' since it was agreed and been quite emotional. I guess there will be alot more tears along the way as we finally put together the final pieces of the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alayne Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well my solicitor rang yesterday at 14.12 to tell me that the buyers solicitor was finally happy with all the information provided following his list of 40 queries and was I happy to exchange today and complete on FRIDAY. I said hell yeah. Shame it didn't happen. Hopefully get a call this morning to confirm the exchange. I'm surrounded by boxes, not sure where to start now. Fingers crossed it happens today.

Alayne Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Good luck hope you get the phone call xx Didn't get it Monday, didn't get it Tuesday, stressed all day today too. At 16.15 the buyer turned up at my door, I thought he was going to tell me that they were pulling out, he lives on the next street, so I thought he was doing the right thing by telling me himself as we'll see each other around. But no he wanted to know if I'd heard anything. Anyway at 16.50 while he was still here gossiping, he got a call from his solicitor to say we have exchanged. Now its a mad dash as we are completing on Friday. Hubby is out in the garage as I type trying to power wash his tools :biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JOHN ODonnell Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 so when the chips are down.......where's best.Canberra or Perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guig Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Our house concluded on the 1st December, Crown came on the 6th and 8th (due to Scotland being snowed in), and the new owners were in by 3pm on Friday 10th December. Our flights to Sydney via Singapore for a few relaxing nights will be booked on Saturday. We're currently staying with the wife's dad until the 24th Jan which is when we want to fly out. Nearly there, then we start it all in reverse. John & Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz36 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 well done on the house sale, all very quiet this end, the snow seems to have put paid to any viewers! Here's hoping it picks up again in January. Enjoy your last month or so before you go, you'll not miss this weather..... Shaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebbers Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well our sale is at the point of 'queries before contract' raised, not sure what that means exactly as our solicitor has said it relates to matters not covered in protocol documents. Anyone got any suggestions about what sort of queries at this stage could be raised, I'm afraid I've never sold a house before so have absolutely no idea what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diz Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 well we had resolved ourselves to renting the house out as we couldnt sell it even though we knocked 45k off the asking price when out of the blue we got a viewer on tuesday and we accepted their offer on wednesday! they want to be in by mid Jan at the latest as they have just returned from the States and need to be in quickly :biggrin: - we booked the shippers today for first week in Jan and are flying yo Perth at the end of Jan and I cant bloody wait now! cant concentrate on xmas - I am too preoccupied with everything else! Keep your hopes up - this was the only viewer we have had in 9 months of trying to sell the house - they say it only takes 1 to buy it :wink: Diz x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz36 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Great news Diz, it helps me keep my hopes up that the one buyer may pop up before we rent it out. We've resigned ourselves to the fact we'll rent it out in the new year. Been on the market 6 months now, lots of viewers initially but not much since Sept. Enjoy your last few weeks, Shaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
