Mishaps and Memories

Nov. 15, 2006 - no progress

House still for sale.... just two viewings in 4 weeks.... we've either overpriced it, or the estate agents are rubbish!

 

In fact, we suspect the estate agents are rubbish... they've only proactively called us once without being prompted in 4 weeks... despite us requesting regular contact when we first signed up with them....

 

Will review the situation this weekend, and make some decisions... we are contracted to this estate agent for 10 weeks as a sole agency, but they need to get themselves into gear, or i'll become an 'awkward customer' shortly... and they'll wish it was only 5 weeks contracted!

 

We've bookmarked at least 10 boats that could potentially meet our needs, so will have a busy few weekends when we finally get the house sold....

 

However, SWMBO is, rightly, now refusing to look at adverts for boats, as she claims it depresses her!


Nov. 17, 2006 - Buying/selling

Posted by Guapa
Neil,

Listen to the wife (for once).
Not only do you need to sell the old house - you will also (I assume) need to buy a new one.
THEN you can look at boats!

If your withdrawal symptoms are out of control you can always scrounge a ride. Guap remains afloat all winter.

Good luck

Will
