now we are in the last few weeks in our current house (fingers crossed - contracts not exchanged yet)

we have been to see

this house

pros -

  1. really coveted village location
  2. good primary and secondary catchment
  3. nice big house, adequate garden
  4. just in our price range
  5. doesn't need work

cons -

  1. layout - don't like the long kitchen - lots of wiggly bits in the 'utility' side
  2. conservatory is piece of tat (flowery windows, one of which is broken)
  3. parking (no ORP, block of flats diagonally across means shortage of immediate parking, narrow road - there is potential for ORP but you'd probs get blocked in unless you angled it to the corner.....which might look weird)
  4. ex-council (so narrow road on way in)
  5. this house sold for 248500 a year and a half ago, they want over stamp duty 3% threshold for it now...
  6. this isn't a house we can add any value to.

DH really loves it. I like it, though the houses over the road that back onto fields would be better..(none of those are on the market though!) ....having been looking a while i am holding onto the idea of finding something Perfect that i love. this feels a bit....

do you think there would be any problems selling on this house? it has been on with another agent at £269950 and not sold...but that's probs just pricing..tell me what you think?

i have no idea - buyer also backed out of house down the road....

so obv was interested, and she'd had a survey done, (so some expense)

but we'll have incurred solicitors costs from this, as we've done all paperwork..

it is just money though, its more that i

  1. don't want to miss an easier school move time
  2. am much more pregnant now!

Hang in there,something will come along.so disappointing for you.

estate agent also asked us to down price despite us not having problems getting offers..... we said no for now.

we just need a buyer who isn't a timewasting tool!

hopeful

Fingers crossed you find a new buyer soon.
