Nah estate agents.
Went back to them and said make it 210 and I’ll take the house off the market.
She spoke to the guy who sounds keen I think. I think he will come back with say £207,500. He’s buying it for his son who lives in Germany so needs to speak to him about it. They’re going to give us a definitive answer by Friday.
If not we have another open house this coming weekend so hopefully we will have some more bookings for that if he turns his nose up but Im pretty hopeful about it.
Buying/selling in this country is fucked. Scotland and most other countries are so different. There’s no low ball bidding, if you put in an offer and it’s accepted, you’re buying the house, no backsies
Cash buyer still lurking, open house on the horizon… Agent should have an offer for you before the open house mate fo sure
I remember last time I bought hash was at uni, then a few years ago what seemed like overnight all dealers had changed from imperial to metric and were selling in grams. So confusing but hats off to all the dealers that are pushing for a unified, modern weights and measurements system.
Exchanged contracts on my first house today and move in next Mon.
Absolutely mental that 4 months ago I had massive gambling debts and now I’m buying a house for £600k.
Coming clean and admitting I had a problem was the hardest but best thing I’ve ever done.
looks nice - london brick is possibly the best brick colour in the world. My current place in Sydney has baked red shit from the 60’s and is already pissing me off.
100% not true.
Bought this place, all agreed, went on honeymoon and got a call when we arrived in Paris to tell me the sellers had decided to decline my offer that they’d just accepted and put it back on the market. Ended up bidding the same again and getting it accepted again, but that ruined the trip for sure.
Yeah I have only heard stories of madness and blind bidding from Scotland. The above doesn’t suprise me.
Man now I had to spend ten minutes of my life learning about the Scottish housing rules. Apparently there’s “fixed” pricing which works the same as in England. And then something called “offers over” that involves secret bidding. The accepted bid then effectively been contractual
I really didn’t need or want to know this
Offers over is normal unless it’s a new build or a cash sale. Offers over basically means ‘Add at least ten percent, since the asking price is only based on the home report valuation, rather than where the place is’.
There was a reasonably amusing looking American one of these, where you could get Weck or Biebel to wish your mate happy birthday for $20, which I guess is quite nice, but here’s a British one.
£15 for Zammo to wish your homie happy birthday? Or you could get JIZZY MACK for the same money. Only got a fiver? The guy from Black Lace has got you, and will appreciate the fiver.
Gordon Ramsay lookalike for £50.
I laughed looking at him but I tell you what, the Boris Johnson voice is pretty much spot on.
That doesn’t look like the kind of car you see on Top Gear.
I had a mate who worked for that short-lived information service where you’d phone them up and somebody would basically Google your question and tell you the answer. Maybe around 2003? He said that far and away the most common question was “Who is the Stig?” The answer was “It’s various stunt drivers, depending on who is available”.
People think I’m nuts or scared of flying when I tell them I have turned down 6 work trips to LA this year, now I can just send them this. Fucking hate the place.
I got stuck on the M1 yesterday for 3 hours. I travel quite a bit for work and I’m finding myself stuck behind bad accidents more and more. Sometimes it feels like I’m just waiting for my turn to get involved with a nasty crash.
I think these smart motorways and the 50 things will be a big help. I’ve had better trips on the m4 to london this year. May not being smacking it along but heavy traffic moves at 50 rather than standstill.
Last month I had 1 day of traveling in my local area were I saw the aftermath of 9 crashes, all well good ones too.
You get the Final Destination feeling don’t you
A fucking grand for whoever the fuck this Michael Fabricant is:
