Callistemom21 don't let it put you off downsizing . Even though it was hell selling my house. I don't regret it for a bit. I downsized to a 2 bed bungalow and love it. I have gardens I can do myself even brought a greenhouse. I existed in my old house I have been widowed 18 years. Since moving I live my life to the full. And loved getting the bungalow as I wanted it. Best thing I did was move.

With the way houses are selling at present i dont think you need to be too fussy.

Owners do not do the inspections here, EA's do and the owners are not present as a rule. Agents much prefer to sell on their own as the owners are often far too emotionally involved.

As for taking photos, we always did that when looking. Not so much of the rooms that agents had taken photos of but of other things not shown, both inside and out.

I figure if I'm going to be spending the money then I want to know, and am entitled to know, what's what. We generally take longer to buy a pair of shoes than to view a house.

Yes, 4 sold near us last month within days of hitting the market. Our friends are buying one, that'll be the 2nd lot of acquaintances moving in, so we must have done something right here!

Where is Hazel?

Hazel is here ! So sorry not to have posted to all of you that wished me well and asked for an update - I am obviously crap at getting back to everyone. Your encouragement was so brilliant. Thank you.
House now sold. Caveat being that due to supply chain to our new home we will not be able to move until July which is fine with our buyer. Happy Days !!

Hazel Glad you have accepted an offer. I do hope the rest of your journey is as easy -but be aware of the many bumps on the road of selling and buying property. House is NOT SOLD until Contracts are actually Exchanged - upto that time is is just 'Under Offer'.
