2 weeks ago this Sat I put my house on the market. It sold after 4 days, survey already done and I’ve now had an offer accepted on the house we were after with survey early next week 
Still no garage 
but lots more space for my boys /guests etc and at it has a drive.
I’m glad that the car is fighting fit because I forecast an extended period of hemorrhaging money on the house… 
Well done, Benja - fingers crossed the survey etc goes well 
Whereabouts in Dudley are you moving to? 
PS Argos sell packing boxes etc, & no doubt you’ll need loads of them!
Cheers Rob - yup the new place is pretty old so the survey is critical.
Moving out of the big smoke to the Midlands was an option but not yet we’re staying in London. Would be handy being down the road from JSR though …and all the decent circuits and…nope we’re decided.
The logistics of getting the four of us moving is properly scary.
Congrats mate - having moved 7 times in 15 years with work I don’t envy you - not with 2 little ones.
If your getting a removals company to do it get a quote for them to do the packing as well. When we last moved it wasn’t that much more IIRC about �300 more and the only thing I did was get off the sofa when it was time to put it in the van 
Well done mate!
Could you please come up to the Midlands, move into my house, put it on the market, and sell it within 4 days for me!
Promise no more tailgating your Rice Burner in exchange!

Yeah I may be pretty quick at selling houses but that’s pretty much where it ends
…my car was of course seriously down on power at Anglesey due to inlet-manifold crack etc etc

You dont need any Ben!
It must be GREAT to have sold your house so fast… I reckon the market is at long last getting a bit more positive… hope to sell mine next spring!!!
Lol thanks Andy 
Yes Pete the market certainly seems to be picking up. I decided to give it a go this year because we’d seen somewhere we liked that after a bit of faffing I’ve managed to secure it. I think there is a lot of pent up demand that by Spring will be driving the market…shit I sound like an Estate Agent
I think “house demand” will be very, very localised for the foreseeable future.
Both main parties are openly warning us of tough times after the election in 2010, ie we’re going to be squeezed for a couple of years or so, no matter who gets in. After 3 years, they’ll then gradually “ease off” in an attempt to bribe us to elect them for a further term.
If even the Dubai Govt finances are in the shit, what chance for the rest of us?
“Cash” is & will remain “King” (Cough!!!) for many years to come.
Lol cash is what …Gippo Pesky
Well done Ben, good luck with the move mate.

Unfortunately, I ain’t got any
Doesn’t change what I’m saying though, & if you don’t believe me, come back to this thread in 24 mths time
Voice of doom…Don’t you dare talk politics at the curry house mate 
Is Pete going?..CON are you coming to stourbridge?
BEN picking your car up
Cross thread sorry :whistle:
Not doom, mate, which is sort of final, just a pessimistic view of the next couple of years before things start to get better.
No intention of talking proper politics over curry…but no doubt “racing stylee bullshit” will be in evidence
Hopefully, the “Edwards Boyz” will be up for the curry too
