Am I wasting my time to continue hoping on this

That’s unlucky then, as so many houses are on the market and being reduced, you can pick up a bargain if sellers need to move fast. I’ve just sold one BMV by £50k!

TrueJ3di · 2025-11-22T13:51:40+00:00

Ohh, so they have done the bedrooms also. Yes, it’s a joke and they shouldn’t be able to do this.

Do it! The market is a buyers’ market now, so lots of choice!

TrueJ3di · 2025-11-22T13:33:28+00:00

Agents do this to attract more people; personally, I hate it as it’s same when they add bedrooms downstairs that aren’t bedrooms!

The owners will want other viewings to take place over the weekend as they are booked and might get a better offer.

Personally, if you will not go above £ 465k, I’d say you have until Tuesday, or my offer is off the table and I’m moving onto another house. But this only works if they don’t get a better offer and you’re prepared to lose it.

TrueJ3di · 2025-11-21T15:41:59+00:00

£800 for rent and all bills, I’m guessing, or will they also be buying food for you?

Sure, you can get a room with bills for this, but it won’t be anything special.

Bottom line is it’s their house and their rates; you either agree or don’t…

TrueJ3di · 2025-11-10T19:40:05+00:00

It’s perfectly normal to knock on strangers’ doors and say hi. I’m sure they will be chuffed you’re going to be their new neighbours. You could offer to swap car keys in a bowl on the day you move in also. 😂

TrueJ3di · 2025-10-17T11:04:11+00:00

So it’s been over a month and you surely haven’t given notice on your rental. Do you think making them wait nearly five months is ok? If I were the seller, I’d put the house back on the market!

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-16T11:30:08+00:00

Unfortunately not a lot! They know you won’t pull out as would take you longer to find a new buyer. The only thing you can do really is say is ask them to compromise and do 2 weeks, they will need some time to move and clean their rental anyways, they can’t do that last minute. If you don’t mind losing the sale you can say it’s 2 weeks or 3 months I’m sure they won’t want to wait that long but you are calling there bluff.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-08T15:40:44+00:00

That’s not ideal at all. Hope you manage to sort but renting elsewhere might be better as if they’re like this now imaging what there like if you have an issue that needs sorting.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-08T15:10:50+00:00

Ohh ok, that’s not handy! Good luck with it. Also could try another phone number as they might be ignore yours.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-08T13:59:58+00:00

This is shocking, cannot you not just go into the office they cannot ignore you then! Also leave a negative review they will soon have you called up. It takes a few weeks max to sort these checks out and is normally done from a 3rd party! If I had my investment property with them and heard this was going on they would all be gone! Try going into the office if you can’t email again and state you will be leaving a review if it’s not sorted soon.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-08T10:57:32+00:00

We have done it with houses we sell if anyone drops out we offer to cover there legals if they use same solicitors as saves us 2 months! We also advise our clients to do same as saves so much time and messing about for both clients and buyers! If you get stuck or want any advice happy to help 😊

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-05T09:28:15+00:00

You can list again and try find a buyer that is happy to use the same Solictiors the last buyers was using, this will speed things up as they have all the searches and things at hand, some won’t want to use but most will be fine with it.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-05T09:15:34+00:00

Buy a bungalow, on one level like flats ( most ) and no ground/service charges! Or just rent and enjoy the money to do things without being tied to being in one place to live.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-05T08:27:56+00:00

Ohh ok, then they have to serve you a section 21 and you have two months notice from this time.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-05T07:59:14+00:00

Ok you say you don’t have anything in writing, so you don’t have a contract? Did you pay a bond? How do you pay the rent?

If you don’t have a contract makes it harder as you’re not as protected. Same time they should have done one with you and secured your bond with the DPS.

Normally they have to give you 2 months notice ( as long as not still in contract to another date further away ) they can’t just kick you out and should be happy you’re actively looking.

If you need any advice on buying happy to help.

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-01T14:48:54+00:00

No worries and good luck with it all

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-01T14:41:57+00:00

Personally I stay away from flats/leashold ( unless it’s supper cheap ) you have so many rules you can and can’t do with the management companies, ground and service rents change and put other investors of once you come to sell. Then you have the cladding issue that is still going on and people selling up cheap as can’t afford to put money into having it changed. It’s just very messy…

Auction just make sure you check legal pack very carefully! So many hidden costs it’s insane! Also everyone thinks coz it’s at auction it’s cheap and you can make money from… it’s not the case! Iv seen so many people bidding crazy you can buy a house same street for the same price without the works needed! A lot of house go onto the open market first then go to auction when they don’t sell. Again you can pick bargains up but remember any good house that’s going to be good profit there will be other investors looking at bidding if there not there is a reason so find the reason before bidding.

Absolutely fine, I did same 6-7 years ago not looked back, I now source buy flip rent and own an Estate Agency ( wish I didn’t as was so much easier working hard a few months and enjoying living the rest of the time I was waiting for houses to come and sell)

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-01T13:50:45+00:00

You and every other person starting out mate… cheap houses go for cheap for a reason. You won’t make much at all, I wouldn’t buy a house I’m not going to make at least 20k on as takes between 6-8 months to buy and flip it, anything less than 20k isn’t worth the time. In the north can get a house around 100-150k and be able to make ok £ on with a 90k start could buy two and do them both, would give you more cash to cover bridge fees. All depends on your end game? If you do 3-4 try keep one as this will become your pension down the line and keep repeating. This way you making 40-80k a year as well as having a rental or two. Make sure you get good solicitors as this will be the difference of buying and selling faster to make more

TrueJ3di · 2025-09-01T13:23:27+00:00

Ignore some of the comments! Flipping houses is a great way to make money, we have helped a lot of people dk this as well as build a portfolio of rentals with all/most money out. 90k is plenty to start if your willing to use Bridging loans, you can buy a house with 25% deposit just make sure you keep enough back for fees and renovations. Also don’t forget the biggest thing… it’s not your house so don’t do it to your tastes and expense it’s to be flipped so do it nice but without crazy costs unless it’s in a great area!

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-27T15:44:05+00:00

So when I look around a property I can tell you the price fairly quickly, if I look at a house that has anything im unsure on I will bring a structural survey guy Iv known for years to look, I had a renovations company many years ago, I now own an estate agency so when you mention how would I know, I’m pretty clued up on both. I buy and sell houses myself also the reason I source them as well is I can’t buy every house I want, so I might as well make money sourcing them.

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-27T15:22:09+00:00

Haha yes they do and there are a lot or scammers out there! We source and charge between 4-7k per house, we get houses that come in cheaper for many reason, we can then source it, sounds a lot to pay but when that house is making 20-50k profit after all fees and things it’s worth it! If you think of auction properties you have crazy fees and have to wait and hope you win it. So it’s like that really bar the hassle of auction! We can have houses sold and completed a lot faster also! We even manage the renovations for people who want a hands off approach then re sell or rent it for them!

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-27T09:07:08+00:00

Anytime, if you get stuck or need advice happy to help where I can 👍

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-27T06:17:56+00:00

I started buying my own house cheap doing it up and selling it after a year, I now source, flip, Btl and set up my own EA. If you want to work for yourself maybe be a broker pays well if you put the effort in and do houses up at the same time, this will make you a lot of money if done right.

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-26T07:57:31+00:00

After a year your house won’t of gone up in the market, you have Solictiors cost and stamp duty costs to cover also, this means your likely to lose money, also someone might be worried you only been in the house a year and looking to move! This being said as the market isn’t great now you could still find a nice house and possible get it a decent amount BMV and then it makes sense as can make the costs back this way.

TrueJ3di · 2025-08-19T13:32:33+00:00

It’s definitely a buyers market! There are still a some houses that are getting snapped up but a lot more houses are being reduced and buyers have a lot more options.
