I’ve never fancied being a land lady so have always sold and moved on to another adventure in my life. With a new year and a new agent, who knows what will develop for you. Watching the last of the Aussie videos, such a fab trip. As usual, best wishes to you! Cheers 🎉
Hi Marisa! Thank you and so glad you are enjoying my Australia Trip Vlog and it was an epic trip! I still cannot belie it is over or how much we did in just two months! An adventure I will never forget. Best wishes to you too Marisa xxx
Yes Zoe, it is quite a dilemma ... but I believe in fate, and there is a reason for everything, which will all fall into place in the end. Que sera, sera as they say. Glad to hear you are not spending ALL your money ... and you hope to move up norf. I am up norf too, downsizing FINANCIALLY buying a cheaper home after leaving London. Lots of elderly (you are not there yet !!😊) think that moving into a flat is the answer, but it DEFO is not. It is still a home and will have all the expenses you have now but the biggest drawback is that you will have *two* additional bills to pay - the Maintenance Charge, which is usually quite high and the Ground Rent which is usually a lot lower. Oh, and thinking the landlord will sort out any problems ... well think again. Getting them to do anything will take years of stress and anxiety 😢😢 If you want to make any changes to a flat you would have to ask permission, pay their legal fees and your own, and get a Licence for Alterations. You are not allowed to make changes without their consent. Then there is the lease length to consider ... don't fall into what I call The Flat Trap. Relax and enjoy your holiday 🌏✈
Definitely don't rent it out, it's not what you want, and you made all the arguments against it in the video which I won't repeat. Just beware of so-called 'advice' from people who are unfamiliar with English law telling you to rent it out, as the rental laws are different in each country, so you must take account of what would apply to your situation. Some people offer 'advice' not knowing what they're talking about. I'm a bit sad you fired the agent, as it's not their fault so many viewers are flaky, constantly changing their mind, and withdrawing offers. I had a look online, and they did good photos and a good video tour of your house. Just keep your nerve, don't panic, and eventually that buyer will come along. Be patient. Don't change strategy simply based on the bad experiences you've had so far. It will all work out. Remember I speak from experience and have sold 4 rental properties in the past 18 months, while living far away from them in foreign countries, conducting the sales digitally via the Internet/WhatsApp/email.
Thank you as always. I am not saying it’s my agents fault that there have been such few viewings but the property has been sat on the market too long now and I need to rethink the strategy. Renting is definitely not an option for me but I have some weeks now to work out what to do next.
