I am sunk in doom amd gloom

[tonicha]

Quick whizz down to the village - actually managed to get some risotto rice

BUT, the b&b that has been up for sale for 15 odd years has sold - with mvp
Another house round the corner is up for sale - with remax
A house down the road has sold - with remax - and that was within 3 months

Thae mvp people seem to be selling a lot of houses around here - we're stuck with remax until September, but will investigate. I think they may be selling the houses cheaply, as a lot of houses that have been with other companies have gone with them and sold, very quickly.

I'm sunk in doom and gloom because so many houses seem to be up for sale and yes, they are selling quite cheaply, some of them. But we really can't afford to drop more than andother 5,000.

House selling, and buying, really is the pits xxx

[Ally]

Oh Ton. xxx

Hang on in there...something good will happen soon I'm sure. xxxxx

[tonicha]

I'll put the link for the hosue round the corner on h and g

[tonicha]

I think what it is - I know the market has been very very slow here, I do appreciate that - but the fact that every-one, but every-one who has seen our house has said what lovely house it is.

So why are they not buying it?? I know a couple of viewings haven't actually had the money and a couple were just looking for "something to buy in Fuzeta" but we were really hoping that Remax would sell - and quickly.

Once the contract is signed, it's plain sailing, just need their signature and deposit. We don't even need a solicitor

And the same for us buying, although we will use a solicitor, just to be on the safe side, as it will probably be private sale.

And the fact that we sold our house in Sodbury in a matter of weeks - within 2 months, we were here

House selling, and buying, really is the pits xxx

Well my recent experience is only of selling and it was a nightmare Mind you, we are seeing quite a few houses around here that went on the market in or around the same time as ours and they have not yet sold. I really feel for you, Ton, it's so stressful xxx

[tonicha]

Thanks Osc - it's not stressful, just blasted annoying - it's the waiting more than anything. And having to keep the house in an almost pristine condition for over 2 and a half years.............

I just get very crabby - being a cancarian

And having to keep the house in an almost pristine condition for over 2 and a half years.............

I feel your pain Ton, keeping our house in pristine condition for a couple of months last summer was trying enough, but 2 and a half years Keeping fingers tightly crossed a buyer comes along soon xxx

[Workingman]

Ton, try not having the place pristine for a while. Leave it as it would normally be to give it that 'homely' feel. What's to lose?

I can't not make the bed WM

or not do the washing upo, but if there are marks on the floor and a bit of dust, no problem
