Before we went on the market the properties around here were selling like hot cakes, now it seems dead.
Funnily enough we were contacted today by a company that buys your house off you...we've nothing to lose so have booked a valuation, ok they may try to get it for a knock down price, we can just say no, but unless we try them we just won't know www.move-makers.co.uk for anyone that may be interested
They'll be ringing me up in a few weeks' time, they did last time we were on the market and withdrew from it. Same as when you place a car ad, sure enough, some company or other phones you up a few weeks later, hoping you're desperate enough to take a few quid for it.
I did contact one of these firms when we couldn't sell mum's flat in Mallorca and the money they offered her was a joke to be honest, so if they do come round Sheree, at least they'll give you a good laugh when they come up with the offer, so prepare yourself, coz it won't be a good one!
Desperate times calls for desperate measures, but thankfully neither you or I are there yet, we'll just have to ride it out for another couple of years methinks. If we DO have to sit it out, I'm going to sell when prices rise like they did before and rent until they come back down to today's, it makes sense doesn't it, then we can buy two!
Well, 12 noon tomorrow then, let's see if she likes it enough to buy it
