Zero. Zilch.
As in the effin' signing son did not come back with an offer after the viewing. Just some vague message about how he's got the cash, is ready to move but is in no real rush, and how he's now gonna look through a huge list of potential other properties even though Chuppies' was his favourite by far and that he couldnt get over the size of the rooms available.
Blah, blah, blah.
So he's naffed off. Like all the others.
Leaving me and the Chuppies to lick our wounds, realise that we havent had a sniff of interest since that viewing, and that, yes, it was time to once again reduce the flat price and ultimately our house-moving budget.
Good times.
Although there is one potential piece of tentative hopefulness amongst all the doom and gloom.
Whilst our budget is now plumbing the depths of despair (i.e. where all the derelict husks live) we have spotted (and subsequently viewed) an `Ok sort of thing' which could definitely tick the majority of our boxes (once you've sat down and thought about its potential). It's been sitting on the market since November last year and has gone through two price reductions since it first appeared. Plus it's chain free. Naturally as we have not received an offer on the Chuppies' flat we cant actually do anything about the `Ok sort of thing' but the Chuppies has put a call in to the estate agents today re. massively reducing the price of his flat (we're talking over £10K) as we've both got tremendeously itchy feet to get on and get our own place - even if it's an `Ok sort of thing' (but with the potential to be something rather nice).
Stay tuned for an update ...

Urgh, how frustrating LL.
Fingers crossed you get some movement soon.
(We've abandoned TB for the wilds of deepest Gloucestershire and move in a couple of months).
Ta for your wince of sympathy Perp ... rotten state of affairs all round isn't it? Apart from you though, you son of a gun! So Gloucester, eh?! Probably as far removed from TB as you can get - trust there is a good story behind it?!
The imminent arrival of the child, combined with a need to be closer to my offices, plus a better quality of life.
The house is being built too, so we've been able to completely put our own stamp on it. *
*I say our, I mean SWMBO of course.
So now you can go forth and have that rather swish place near the beach we were looking at :p
Sorry to hear the offers have dried up.
Here's an idea, maybe rather than drop the price any further, you could offer a 2 week holiday in Spain, as part of the package. Might spice up the sales angle.
Just thinking. Hope you are both keeping your spirits up and enjoyed the Jubilee festivities.
Woofing for you here. xxx
Perp : Building your own house ... ? Am I gonna see you on the next edition of `Grand Designs'? If so, give us a wave, you big beast of a man. PS : Congrats on imminent arrival :)
Mark : I'd throw in the Chuppies if it helped to clinch a sale. PS : What happened to the `Grump' moniker?
I don't know, google ask me to do something and the next thing I know I am Mark Brickel, all of a sudden, can't work out how to go back to old. You and LL knowledge might be able to help.
Woof please. xx
Sounds like a setting in your Google (or Blogger) profile needs changing to /resetting back to `Grump'. Probably your gi-normously muscular Aussie fingers hit a wrong key by accident during the signing-in process.
Thanks, I will go look see and report back.
Woofxx
I think I found it. Google+ took over from blogger. So my google profile was what you saw. I have now changed back to blogger profile, but who knows if it will allow me to remain a grump.
Drop me a line.
Woof x
