Sorry folks, had to dash. In-laws could only look after the stinker until 4pm so I had to take him for a drive and walk around the shops whilst OH saw the last few viewers. I've missed some right characters, apparently.
We've so far been offered 15k more than any house in this street (on a par with ours) has ever sold for before. There was a foreign couple whilst I was out who offered us AP+4k. OH was perfectly straight with them and said we'd had a much more attractive offer. The woman translated this back to the man and said that she'd contact the agent on Monday and make a better offer than what we'd already had but they need to be in here at October end, at the latest.
Another young Indian Family said they would like this house at any cost but they need to be in within 3 to 4 months max.
We had 2 no-shows and we've got 2 viewings Monday evening, one of whom is so keen he wanted to be the first one in and couldn't apologise enough when he couldn't make his original slot today.
As for the system in Scotland, that's a new one on me. Round here you never know what you're going to get for your property. However we redecorated / refurbed last year with all new lighting, curtains, wallpaper, ceiling roses, etc and it's turned out to be money very well spent.
So, it will be exciting on Tuesday to see what offers are on the table.
