How difficult is it to get a for sale sign put up outside your house. It's been over a week now and still we do not have one. Apparently it is the same guy who puts them up for both the agents we have been with. This guy must be really busy or have some long lunch breaks or maybe he is the only guy in London who puts up for sale signs. I would have thought that the Estate Agents would want them up so give themselves more advertising, it appears not.
Quiet day today, no more viewings booked, however we did get feedback from one of the viewings on Saturday. The girl who came with her Dad and two friends saw 4 properties and shortlisted 2 of them. We are on the shortlist, so fingers crossed that when she decides she will choose ours. I really hope so, we can then review the offer and possibly relax a bit more, well I might at least. It would be nice though to get some more viewings booked in, when I rang them on Friday he did say they had loads of people looking for this type of property, I am beginning to think this is just a typical sales technique to get your business.
We went to solicitors today, we took passports and mortgage statement to prove our identity. That's another farce, she neither looked at us or the passports, she just went out the back and photo copied them. I paid £250 on account, which they need to start the process. We handed in the forms they had given us to complete so we are all set with the solicitors now.
Carolyn and Matthew came over this afternoon so Kirsty and Matthew could play and Helen and Carolyn could catch up, they are going to stay for dinner. Craig had a Maths revision day at school today and said it was absolutely boring. Impressed though that he went though, had I been offered anything extra at school during the holidays, which was optional, I am sure I would not have gone. He attends all the extra stuff they put on, so well done Craig for that.
