And your gorgeous cottage looks like everyone would fall in love with it - and the surroundings. <br />What do these estate agents do all the time? Even when very few houses are on the market, they don't seem to spend any time being pro-active about selling a property, despite the rather large pot of money going their way when it sells. <br />I hope you do hear from your estate agent very soon, otherwise ring them daily until they actually DO something. Also I hope you feel much better very soon - I suspect a decent few days rest is needed.

I NEVER want to have a 12 hour deep cleaning session like the one I had on Tuesday EVER AGAIN! Not one speck of dust was allowed to survive, all the paintwork, the windows I could reach (half I can't), and no end of stock (price tags hidden) was artfully arranged about the place . . . The garden, well I ran out of time with that, but I did explain I can't garden in the pollen season, and had done my best in the time available.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-39328688057439774842017-07-07T15:18:21.274-07:002017-07-07T15:18:21.274-07:00All I can say is GOOD LUCK !

We have been off for several summers on the run when work needed doing. Yesterday was the first time anyone viewed in SUNSHINE - in fact, probably the first summer viewing as the others through this agent have all been winter ones, and we had NONE for the first two years! We too are in the above average price range, and we are in Wales - both limiting factors, especially the being in Wales one . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-19801744094385704722017-07-07T10:48:47.841-07:002017-07-07T10:48:47.841-07:00I have to say it went straight to the top of the s...I have to say it went straight to the top of the short list, but we're not going to let our hearts rule our heads this time.

Of course, in the back of our minds, we went on for awhile wanting something to happen. <br />You've had too many disappointments! Sometimes we've realized that a particular property had a limited target of potential buyers--usually because we were dealing above an 'average' price range. At least once location might have been an issue. Buyers are a capricious lot!
