I do hope all went well with the viewing & they agreed your house was well worth the asking price :-D

Jude, hopefully viewing went well.

Exciting isn't it?

Me and him xx

Hi Jude babes hope all went well today :-) <3

hope the viewing went well Jude and that they liked what they saw :-)

when are you going - more to the point

I cannot be bothered to spend time looking at very old threads.
John you are absolutely correct about the topic of the thread however, if someone asks not to post then at least be a decent person and respect that request

AnnCardiff Christian thread. 9 Feb 1520
ErrolSheep. Christian thread. 9 Feb 1526.

This thread was about a house viewing. I think I kept to subject. Where are you going?

as you say Errol - any half decent person

But if a member politely and respectfully asks you not to post then surely any half decent person would respect that wish

I have not danced all over this thread and I think I have made some sensible remarks. And nobody (I mean nobody) tells me where and why I can post on a public forum of which I am a member.

Sheesh. ROFLMBO :-D :-D :-D

he has no shame - he just enjoys irritating people and then he wonders why people have a go at him - then it's a "poor me" thread, I'm a lovely human being blah blah blah - balderdash and poppycock and a few other words I'm not allowed to put on here - b>>>>, sh>> and B>>>>>ks

Just "do one" John - and leave Jude alone as she asked

John why are you deliberately trying to upset Jude? She doesn't deserve it and you are being extremely disrespectful by adding to her thread when she specifically asked you not to.
Please don't turn this into an argument. Just try to respect her wishes please.

And perhaps some nice classical music playing lightly in background. Not Apache on full volume ;-)

Good morning AnnCardiff.

I don't think it was even a hint. My understanding was that it was a direct yet respectful request

When we sold our last house (2007), the first thing the estate agent did was have a deep smell everywhere. The gas meter in kitchen was leaking ever so slightly and no one had before said it was a problem. It was free to get Transco to come out within an hour and test it and make sure it did not smell.

I just know that, when we sold property 30 years ago, everyone said coffee, bread, air fresheners etc. Not usually professional advice today.

As neutral as possible seems best. Why is your 2 year old house worth £160k with all the work you have put into it over that 2 years, yet the brand new one on same estate is £199k?

Jude can ignore my posts. So can others. But I hope one or two find something useful :-) Posted in good faith.

some people just don't take the hint do they :-S :-S :-S

"Follow your nose. A home should smell good. That means no noticeable odour -- no pet scent, no stale cooking smells and no cigarette smoke. "People just don't realize how much odour plays into this," says Scott Griffith, president of ERA Griffith Realty in Brighton, Mich.

"And I find that people who smoke or have pets become so accustomed to the smell, they don't notice it," Griffith says. Instead, have a friend whose judgment -- and nose -- you trust give your home the real sniff test.

Remember the old story about the smell of baking bread or steaming cinnamon potpourri? Today's real estate pros say it's a no-no. Ditto the scented candles and air freshener.

"If you just go through with Lysol before a showing, that won't help," says Dan Lee, vice president of First Weber Group Inc., in Madison, Wisc. Instead, get rid of scent problems at the source: scrub the house, have the air vents cleaned, replace old, smelly carpeting and smoke outside.

Just read this Jude - do hope it went well :-D

All crossed Jude good luck

How did it go Jude???? *worries* :-)
