NorthernSoul Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Instructed estate agents today, taking a bit of gamble of online one at least for little while - saves soooo much, potentially! They're coming to do photos on Tuesday so hopefully live on www by next weekend, eek! Apart from that had all shipping quotes back - 3 virtually identical and 4th £400 cheaper - they all got the same list so think some bargaining in order but if not, know who I'm going with. Phew, a rare moment where I'm feeling on top of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumoffour Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well, I wish I was as far along as tandcmum but I've been and chosen carpet to hopefully move house sale along, printed off a spider identification chart to start 'scaring' kids with and nudged hubby along to seek.com again. Still no contact from Dubai re the good conduct certificates :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Law Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sold our house, only snag is they haven't sold theirs! They are just putting on the market because they only want ours! They are with the same agent...looks like the agents got some serious selling to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Duckymomo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Had viewing today and had to show people around myself as couple couldn't make original time and agent had another appointment, I already had house cleaned when I got call from agent so decided not to waste all my efforts cleaning and let them view at a later time. They were 45 mins looking around so if they decide to buy house I wonder what my commission will be???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playghirl Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Today I had another last catch up with a different group of forms. Sent off to my CO the rest of the requested docs. This time next week I will be in Singapore!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Managed to finish putting up the Aquapanel in the bathroom yesterday and managed to strip the last remnants of plaster from the walls! Today I'm doing the preparation for rendering the walls and hopefully I will have the render on by the weekend! Getting there mate, but please PLASTER the walls don't RENDER them or they will look shocking !! :rolleyes: I know I'm pedantic ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thing is the car is worth about £14k here (if I can sell it for the full value) but the same car in Oz is worth about $35K, Defo worth taking if I can get over this stupid points system. You could always ask Iron Chef for help, he is the car import expert and is usually on the chat sessions. As for us: While I was in France working yesterday we had 2 viewings. The first one didn't like the position of the house what it looked like from the outside or the inside layout :confused:- Why di they come round after seeing the pictures then ????? Waiting to hear back on the second.

Guest Duckymomo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Our Visa is granted, we've gone through all the emotions already and it's still only 9.34, now the real work begins. It's a 457 visa so I think we have to go within a month of granting, we'll know more later once agent discusses this with OH employer. Full steam ahead now.

Guest Shauno Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Decided that doing this alone is too much so have contacted a Migration agent and paid an initial fee of £120 and a MARA consultant will be contacting us in the next 3 days!! Very exciting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you can do to get yourself out of the situation is to run down to B&Q and get yourself a few rolls of Wood chip!

Getting there mate, but please PLASTER the walls don't RENDER them or they will look shocking !! :rolleyes: I know I'm pedantic ! It might just be terminology in the UK but I know plaster to be Gypsum based and render to be sand and cement. I have taken all the plaster off of the walls and as they are a bit uneven I am rendering the walls before I tile. I cannot use Plasterboard or Gypsum Plaster as they will not hold the marble tiles which weigh just over 30kg a square meter and would just pop off!

It's their job to make sure they are seriously looking ! Your house looks lovely!! Some people are just poo heads!!! That is indeed the case with these idiots - maybe the house in WWs photo is more their cup of tea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is my place great isn't it? I contacted BAL adhesives to get there take on the whether Ply or plasterboard would carry the weight, they told me not to even attempt it and that I should use Hardiebacker or Aquapanel. As for the Marble Tiles I actually bought it couple of weeks before I decided to seriously start the Visa process what a Plonker, anyway got them now might as well use them ! Just ordered the Skip for Monday ........ I hope its not going to backfire on me :twitcy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
