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

New thread!

Come share and despair :)

A viewer at 8 tonight!!

Well I've started packing today. MIL here looking after DD and DH has day off work.

I'd forgotten about half the crap I have in the loft which is good as I can get rid of it.

And other at 2 tomorrow

Good luck fcek.

We are two months and ten viewers in. No offer yet but one 'note of interest'.

At what point do you think we should lower the price?

First couple were an older couple who didn't say much. Second couple were really young and seemed to really like it but neither couple indicated if they'd make an offer. We just have to wait and see.

We have put our apartment on the market 3 weeks ago. Only had 1 viewer yet. Have another viewer on Thursday. Is it ok if I join you ladies?

We are hoping to move into a mill conversion when we eventually sell.

Hi all, I would like to join you.

I saw a house that I liked just over a week ago - we have been looking for nearly two years and finally found somewhere in budget in the right location! Now we just have to sell ours.

We had the house valued on Friday and will be having an open house next weekend. The EA did send someone over yesterday who made an offer two months ago on a identical house to mine but the sellers have not found anywhere to move to yet.

I have been furiously tidying and have never seen my house look so good, will be vey hard to maintain the look for too long!

Good luck to all buying and selling!

No further viewers/feedback/offers yet

Our neighbours had surveyors in today. Their house is identical (apart from decor) same conservatory/decking/view. I'm now terrified it'll be on at the same time as ours, perhaps for less and people will chose theirs over ours

Poor little steam cleaner has earned it's keep today. Keep your fingers crossed for us (have a viewing tomorrow).

Another viewer tonight . They had looked at another house nearby last night. Obv don't know what they thought of that but it's smaller and higher priced than ours.

We think we have sold our house. The (very sensible) offer came seemingly out of the blue... I had already been thinking of taking the house off the market and waiting until the spring. So don't despair all of you! Eight weeks on the market has felt like much longer. Only about 8-9 viewings. But it only takes one - the right one- and the deal is done.

Only problem now is finding somewhere to move to. I haven't really viewed any houses up to now since we haven't been in a position to proceed. There doesn't seem to be anything around in the right location and at the right price.

We are nearly at three months now, some interest but no actual OFFERS! Thinking of dropping the price but worried even that won't work. Annoying as we have found a reasonably priced place we like, not sure how long it will hang around for.

Just as I'd finished cleaning, EA phoned to rearrange it for tomorrow night

well they stayed longer than the previous viewers and had lots of positive things to say. So we'll see.

Its good that they are all being positive but don't know why no offers yet.

Got an offer yet fcek? Our last viewers were so keen I could have sworn they would offer the next day-but nothing! No viewers lined up now, feeling frustrated.

nothing!

I'm so peed off! If its so 'nice' and so 'clean' with such an 'amazing view' then why the hell aren't you offering then.

grrr

Wondering what it is that's making them not offer . I know I should be glad I'm getting viewers but I just want away from here!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! Maybe they are not in a position to make an offer yet? I feel embarrassed about the places we used to view before we were even up for sale .

underthemountain, I wonder if people hold off making an offer to see if you'll drop the price because so many other houses do.

It depends on how desperately you need to move. I want to move but I don't need to, I haven't gotten anywhere to move into yet, will start looking once this is sold. So I don't feel under pressure to reduce the price, not that I wouldn't be a bit flexible.

Is yours FP, O/O, or OIEO?

Ours is 'in the region of' - which should give people the leeway to make SOME kind of offer. We are relocating so do have to move, level of desperation depends on how long we are ok living apart. In reality I do feel quite desperate as I want to get on with my life!

poor you! You could try an open day maybe? That's something we might do if its not sold by about 3 months

Ours took 3 months and we practically had daily viewings but only ever 1 offer! We lowered the price in the end which probably got us our buyer as she paid the oieo price...so frustrating as we had little negative feedback as well, next door but 1 also went on around the same time which didn't help! 3 months later were finally moving! You will get there :)

Thanks ickle, that's reassuring.

Feeling more fed up and upset this morning as a house in my mums street has come up, which is where we want to stay (know everyone, DD knows their kids, near the school etc).

It'll be gone before we sell ours and its perfect too in terms of size, decor and price :(

Will cross my fingers for you, you never know...
