The decluttering, cleaning, vacating, pandering, nailbiting antics of the stressed out house sellers goes on and on....

[TerrysNo2]

New thread!

Come share and despair :)

We sold first time round in 8 weeks. Lost our buyer, as we couldn't find anywhere, then found somewhere (typical) so are trying again. Really hoping for a quicker sale this time round so we don't loose out on the house we've found!!
Otherwise it's back to square 1....

I don't want to ever have do this again!

Definitely never again - looking at houses and imagining us in them when elderly and infirm!

Feels like a race against time when you have a place lined up to buy-good luck!

We accepted an offer last week and they've been round again today to double check and are instructing tomorrow.

I have told Dh we are never selling another house. We are staying in the next one till we die and leave the Dc's to get rid of it.

I'm also never moving ever again!

Me neither!

Well that lasted a long time, buyers have pulled out!

I need to post again. Aaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh! Fucking fucking fuckwits. I hope their buyers pull out now! Twats.

And breathe.

Argh Manchester that sucks! Hope you get better buyers soon

So do I. We actually had an appointment with that bank this moment anyway, and we've got some ideas on the go now.

Still hope their buyers pullout.

Oh Manchester, that really does suck. Have you offered on anything yourself yet?
Better that they pull out after a week than right before exchange though.

But that doesn't stop you feeling pissed off does it!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We had this happen twice .............. and it WAS third time lucky!

We've moved to our last home, too. We deliberately chose a bungalow in a lovely quiet location that suits us now and will be great when the dds have left home and it's just the two of us.

I found the whole moving thing completely traumatic and it is a fabulous feeling to know that we'll not be doing it again!!

Oh manchester that's rubbish. I hope their buyers pull out too!

Yes we've offered and our vendors have offered too! Argh!

i need to rant!!
Well, here we sit - waiting ...........for our buyer to tell her solicitor that she wants to exchange for next friday 16th - she is out of contact - not responding to her phone - the estate agent has sent her emails today. And its 5 oclock and everything is closing for the weekend - so all the people in the chain are waiting for her to respond.......we can't do anything........

She came round last wednesday as she wants to rent it out (her and dh live abroad) she made a big fuss that it wasn't in "pristine condition" and she'd have to get the decorators in and she didn't want to complete til the end of september after they've been on holiday - its been agreed by all in the chain including them that Aug 16th is the date we're aiming for!!!

Then she wants to come round y'day "to make a list of what needs doing" Our house was advertised as "a fine example of a victorian house thats been well maintained and sympathetically updated" and our buyer is faffing about paintwork etc and saying she can't let it yet etc etc despite the letting agent who she brought with her, telling her it was in good condition and ready to rent. We got the estate agent to meet her and talk some sense into her and she accepted she was being OTT/ OCD and not used to the uk property market and she agreed to exchange ready for completion next friday - BUT she's not contactable today - so we're all sitting waiting.......the Cw/b !! Sorry for the rant

doglover - i can't wait to be in your position. Great that you got there:)

its verrrry traumatic and stressful - on a par with bereavement/ divorce/ relocation and job change

Rant away nelly. Some people suck

Thanks, NM. We feel a tremendous sense of relief to be here. The last few months have been pretty dire!

Nelly how awful. Hope something gets sorted soon.

We moved in almost 3 weeks ago now but then had 4 days at a festival and 11 days away on holiday, both booked when we thought we would be moving in at easter! Home today and can't wait to get back to settling in.

Any news Nelly? I think we're going to rent our current house, I came lose the house we want for many reasons.

Yes Nelly what's happening? She sounds horrid.

We've just had another couple come round.... We went under offer last week but these people were already booked so we wanted to have them round still. I think they liked it.... Will have to wait and see. Any chance buyers are like buses?!

They totally are pastabee! We had four sets of potential buyers over 5 months - two were not serious, but the last two were and both offered on the same day!

Yey ruby!!

The uncertainty is a killer isn't it'

Eeekkk Ruby, I hope so!

We're going down the renting out approach. I need to move on with our lives. This is a life changer of a move (will explain more once we've moved) and I need to get on with our lives. No more living in limbo.
