So we had our first viewing last night. They turned up before the estate agent, so I invited them in and had a chat to them without the Agent. It turns out they have been looking for a year, and have lost two properties very close to finishing. The first was due to a survey which meant the mortgage company would not release the money. The second one, the sellers pulled out two days before exchange of contract. So this seems to be a tough time for them and they really need to buy something. This might be in our favour but who knows.
They seemed to like the property but I sensed a problem with it being on the main road and the noise that brings and also the back garden side fences being very low. The later can be solved quite easily by putting up bigger fences, the noise from the road is not something we notice but each to their own taste I suppose.
If they were to offer anything above £246K then I would accept without hesitiation, even if it meant that we sold a lot earlier than we would prefer. Anything under that would take some consideration and maybe some negotiatiing upwards as we really do not need to be accepting any offers at the moment unless they are really near the asking price.
Another viewing today at 1.40pm, will see how that goes.
