I would say "it will all work out, it is all for a reason" but hey im not in your position, cause i know that would piss me off. I offer my highest hopes to you for finding the perfect place. Cause then we can all come round for a house warming!! yeah. You to are so grown up.
So much for good omens... When I took the first call about the offer going through, 'Our House' was playing on the radio AND it was our 2 year anniversary. And it STILL fell through! :(
Hoping we find the one before Xmas so we can have a really big Christmas/housewarming party!!
Don't worry about it Trees I agree. That is my attitude as well.
With my place (first time round) we adjusted the offer according to the value of the repairs which were principally wiring.
After settling I took a little time off work and got the wiring work done for 2.5 grand instead of the 5 grand that we had taken off the house price.
Who's your daddy??
(btw, buying and selling houses is a financial transaction, principally. They are so expensive this is a nature of necessity.)
Nice D.
...which is all good IF you happen to have the $$$ to do that kinda thing. As we have a 100% mortgage, any discount to fix stuff is meaningless really. It just makes the repayments 50c less a month, rather than give us any money in the pocket to do said repairs.
