now the uncertainty of war has been removed and if it is over quickly house prices will be on the up again. people have held off buying whilst this is in the air.

scoobyangel

is the house you were buying still there for you????

davyboy

The house we are buying is still available, luckily, same price too!

The guy did have a solicitor, he was just erm, thick, and very slow to reply to any letters etc.

I think he lied about he salary, and when he finally sent some bank statements, they twigged it. It was a case of one step forward, two back.

Dave, I wondered why the board was still up on the house you are buying..Hope its not stressing you out too much

Hi Nicci,

We may be moving next friday, But don't hold your breath.

I am pretty cool about it, it has been going on soooo long I have kind of forgot about it.

When you see my car in the driveway, feel free to pop in for a drink.

We know exactly how you feel Dave, because our buyers' solicitor wouldn't exchange on a certain date, our vendors started to threaten to pull out!!
We are all moved in now - the move itself went very smoothly. Good luck and fingers crossed

Contracts exchanged, completion Friday.

The housing market's pretty much stopped over here, a year ago it was 'sell the place within a week for the asking price or better', now people are not paying asking price. We had 6 agents value our flat to sell it, lowest £180k, highest £218k ! Was on market for £210k, but we took it down to £195k yesterday At least we have a mortgage facility that'll allow us to buy the place we want if we only get £180k for ours

Nice house in Kettering maybe or perhaps Rushden? Lovely places really out of the top drawer-LOL. A nice meal at Billing Mill with all the other people of that type who go there- lovely. Then back to the nice house with the low ceilings and drive on some estate.ROFLMAO

Thank you for your kind words of support Fluffer. Unfortunately, you may be disappointed. I have over 50% equity in my house, so we would have to have a considerable drop in the economy for that to happen.

I'll have to press "print screen" when you post, they never stay the same!

Fluffer

why bother? Just ignore me- It would be my pleasure to ignore you if you didn't keep posting off topic on threads I've initiated.

edited to add: I guess the truth hurts-LOL


further edited to add: something I said must really have gotten under your skin for you to actually bother like this- I really couldn't care less about you and your posts- lets just keep our posting nice n friendly or not bother.

OK, I'll call a truce.

But the truth does really hurt me, I mean really deeply, I am going to be on the street in 6 months, and the beer I like is in fact crap.

Happy posting.
