Lacking posts due to house hassles. We eventually have had an offer on our house but the one we were buying the people pulled out, after we had had surveys which will end up costing us a few hundred quid. Most others in the area are over priced and have been on the market ages. The others we have seen (17 in total) have either been out of our price range or when we have put in offers been people who are not that much in need of moving or just testing the market so hold out for the asking price. Even when we came within 5K of the asking price on houses that been on the market for over a year. This seems mad when on average the houses that are selling are going for 8% or 16K under the asking price (including those in the area we are looking when people genuinely need to move), just not the ones we want!
