Just sold my mum's house as she has passed away.
Called estate agents on 28th April to say I'd like to market it, they came round the next day to take photos and measure for up the floor plan.
They launched it on Tuesday 2nd May, had an open house on Saturday 6th, one viewer made daft offer 75k under asking, but then upped to 25k under asking on Monday 8th May, after being told I didn't accept his first offer, told again I would not accept anything under asking, which is set below market value anyway.
Monday Afternoon agents receive email from lady in Switzerland, (but has other properties in the area so knows it reasonably well) who had spoken to guy who did the Energy Performance certificate check, and she had seen the online presence, offered full asking price as cash buyer with no chain, and subject only to contract.
Agents doing all the due diligence on availability of funds, and seriousness of buyer, but looking good so far, and looking as though she is totally genuine, so its all going ahead with exchange preliminarily planned for end of month and completing middle June.
Well chuffed and can't believe how fast its all happened.
