Pictures

I did a post with pictures.  I saw them with my own eyes and in my practice blog.  Then they were gone, just the boxes with the red cross.

Mum's house

Well Mum's house went up for sale this week and we have had four people round to view already.  The first person has put in an offer and really wants it because it is close to the school and the sports centre where her daughter goes.  She is recently divorced and lost a house just before christmas.  She has seen it twice, bringing her Mum, sister, and brother-in-law round and they are all lovely. 

The second one wants it too and is waiting to see what the first one wants to do.  He just wants to move to the area and has plans to knock it about abit.

I don't think the third lady wants it at all but we have yet to hear.

The fourth are a young couple who have fallen in love with it and want it desperately asking what can they do to get it, it will be their first home together and they are both local people.  They know we have had an offer but are hoping.

Me and my sister feel so guilty.  We have said yes to the first lady but have been told to keep it on the market until she has a survey.  This young couple also want it, they know the score though.  The estate agent said when you have a few after the house they usually have a 'race to survey'.  The first to get a surveyor through the door gets it, but we are not happy with that.

Selling houses never used to be like this.  What makes it harder is not one of them is in a chain.  How often does that happen.  Four potential buyers and not one in a chain.  I hope the first lady gets it or if not it is because she has dropped out.  I also hope the young couple don't offer us a substantial amount more and put us in a dilemma.

It's a hard world out there.
