I just need a moan and probably a massive head wobble.
We’ve been on the market one week today. We procrastinated for ages but the shove was seeing one (and only one) potential upward move that met most of our criteria and the stamp duty exemption.
We’ve marketed at a sensible price and within 2 days had two viewings booked. The first viewing the wife said she wanted it and was willing to pay the asking price but her husband said he didn’t want it. Second viewing are not answering the phone to the agent so I assume that’s a no.
We made the stupid stupid mistake of asking to view the potential we liked. We absolutely loved it but now we are worrying it’ll sell. BUT it’s been on the market since January. We have quizzed their agent as to why and she said the garden is very daunting to some people and it’s done to a very high standard and people at the moment seem to like property with ‘potential’ whereas this is top end finished and needs nothing. I do agree the garden is very big (like enormous) but to us as avid gardeners it’s what we want.
We’ve been in the current house for 7 years and had a horrible stressful time. We had buyers pull out twice late in the process. And we lost the house we really wanted (hence moving again, this was a bit of a compromise).
I get so wrapped up in it and so frustrated. We are due to be away the week after next and I don’t want it to spoil that by thinking of nothing else.
There is no purpose to this point I just wanted a whinge!!! Why does it have to be so bloody stressful!

Why is selling and buying so stressful? Early days but so disheartened
