Hi,
So we're just about to go on the market after a 6 month break and this time round, we seem to have generated a lot of interest before we have even gone on.
Buy to let investor, FTB and another couple, have all enquired about houses specifically on our road, so we were thinking it was certainly a good start. Then a house identical to ours, except has a refitted kitchen and is 10 grand cheaper, goes on the market and we thought we didn't stand a chance in hell if we went on now, so held off. Luckily that sold quickly- within the first couple of days and not only that, but over the asking price, closer to ours apparently, so we think, right, get it on now! There was a bidding war, so now's definitely the time.
Stay with me! I appreciate this is a lengthy backstory 😬
Anyway, due to go on tomorrow, with a viewing booked in already, when I see the house next door, which I assumed was going to be re let, is looking like it's actually going on the market!
I don't know this, but I see a van advertising boilers, which would initially lead me to think rent, i.e you're required to keep on top of servicing etc, but then what throws me, is a man comes out another car from Hillary's Blinds
You wouldn't get them out if you were renting your house out, would you?.. But then, you wouldn't if you were selling either, I don't think. They're so expensive! Surely you'd just get some standard, neutral ones.
The only other option is, the landlord is moving in himself 
What are anyone's thoughts?
Sorry for the waffling. I'm just so desperate to move, the thought of more competition is stressing me out, so I'm praying it's either being re let and the landlord just loves his blinds
or he's moving in himself.
TIA
