Nightmare Property Viewers !!!!

[Drisgirl]

I have had my house on the market (I love it to bits) but felt if I were to sell then release the equity I could buy a flat outright.We have a house in Spain so want a base in each country. I have had the most horrendous obnoxious people viewing my home and what put the tin lid on it was that on Sunday 4 adults(same family) came to view at once.I couldnt keep track of them -it was a nightmare -one was looking at all my personal photos on the wall -then I looked back and 2 had just gone back into my bedroom (my personal sanctuary) without saying a word -in the meantime the guy had wandered through my kitchen and hall and out the back door and was now raking through my garden. It was a nightmare -anyone else had a nightmare experience? BTW -alls well that ends well as I phoned my BS today and just by putting a little extra away a month to the mortgage -it will be mine in a couple of years -all that for nothing-the signs are down and its off the market -phew -feel brill!!!!! We are now planning what we want to do with the house what a great feeling.

Hi Dris,
Bet you feel a big weight has been taken off your shoulders today.
Selling your home is very stressful, especially when people tramp all over your personal space.
Two years will not be long in going in.

that sounds really awful dris,I used to own a property and when I was selling it I used to make myself scarce and let the agent take the would be buyers round, then at least I didnt see my personal space being invaded, yeuch!
Good luck with future viewings x

Please also spare a thought for us poor viewers who are trying to buy a house!

I am very polite, I let the owner lead the way, I always ask the owner if I may enter a room (sometimes for a second look) but some of the horror stories I could tell you about! One bathroom still has toe nail clippings all over the floor and the carpets hadnt been hoovered for about a year (and that was before we noticed all the walls were covered in damp!) Some owners (normally tenants) just tell us to have a look then sit down. It feels so rude to look round the house but the tenant cant be bothered. Be so glad when I have bought somewhere!
