Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hello Lovely Lady @Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) . Thanks for asking. Don't where I got to on our move but here goes: We were gazundered as you know. Our house went on the market the next day and we got two offers* a few weeks later. In the meantime, the vendor of the house we were hoping to buy received an offer which he accepted. The memo of sale was revised to say whoever got to close to exchange of contracts first of us and the other purchasers would get the house. Charming. So now we were in a race and were now a handful of weeks behind in the process and getting set up to be gazumped.
We felt that moving ahead with our sale and being prepared to rent if we missed out on this house was the best way going forward.
Then, a house we looked at the start of all this, popped back on the market. It was on for 100k too much last year and we couldn't make sense of the price in relation to the rest of the road. The newly appointed estate agent shared the same view. We put an offer in a couple of weeks ago which was accepted so here we go again 🤞.

*The two offers were from such lovely people. Our neighbours know each respective set. As these two potential purchasers knew of what had happened to us, one got one set of neighbours to pop by and give some background to show they were committed and the other wrote a letter to us.

Got something to say?
