Bad luck moog. It is a f8cking ballache process even when it doesn't go badly.
On a positive note, I had the weirdest experience this morning. I was on the train because reasons. Crammed on the Jubilee line at Bermondsey noticed the guy next to me perusing a property website. Nosey me looked over at his search criteria. My area. My price bracket. Then he scrolled to... my flat. Couldn't help myself. Tapped him on the shoulder and said. "That's my flat". He scrolled back one in the listings, showed me and said "That's mine!". Turns out he was checking to see if his place was up yet as he is also selling and moving out. Ended up having a good chat. Nice bloke. Small world.
The downside to the conversation was that his place, also a 2 bed in the same area was up for considerably more than ours and according to him, had attracted loads of views and second viewings already. In one day. We've been up a week today and I'm really starting to think we've gone with a duff agent. Already had to re-list at a lower price after getting no enquiries over the weekend. Despite one second viewing last night (which looked promising), I am underwhelmed at the level of interest being generated.
Too late to jump ship this week though. Just annoying to have the place listed as having not sold in what is apparently a buying frenzy. Further undermines the valuation innit.
