A lack of interesting things to say has never stopped me.

According to local conveyancer their work has dried up over-night.
Sadly it was a bubble that went un-checked, for too long. Keep optimistic and welcome back anyway.

The market was in free fall before the stamp duty faff - The blame lies with the sub prime market in the States and greedy banks who extended credit to almost anybody who breathed.

I think you can thank our present goverments lack of clarity on stamp duty for well and truly stalling the market.
Perhaps you could email Mr Brown and invite him to buy your house Becky. Lets face it, he could afford it.

Hope things sort themselves out soon,
Hugs.

Set up a website for each house, with lots of panorama photos and floor plans, plug it on your blog and other things. Put them on ebay? :)

We're having a bit of the same issue. Originally, the plan was to sell the house and buy one closer to Leeds, where we are also renting a flat. But with almost nobody coming to look at it in the last six months, we're now looking to rearrange work schedules so we can move back into the house up north.

Same thing has been going on in the states for at least a couple of years now. My sister moved into a new house before her old one sold and ended up letting the bank foreclose on it because nobody was even biting. It was only 3 years old and in a nice neighborhood, too.

Anyway, hang in there!

The housing situation must be a nightmare for people in a position such as Jane and yourself find yourselves in. I can only say I hope it sorts itself out well for you both.

What Lynne said about "interesting things". God knows if I waited for something interesting to happen to me I'd never post anything. Anything interesting tends to be too...um..."personal" to blog about freely anyway. Just waffle on as you see fit (or not). See you both in Tesco's :-)

Y'know I was about to drop you a note to make sure you'd not dropped off the face of the planet. Mind you if you had, it would have been worth blogging about... at least if you could get a wireless signal.

Combine that with a distinct lack of Interesting Things

Yeah, although that doesn't stop most of the blogging community (myself included) does it? :)

Ahhh. House prices. We bought a long time ago and frankly, we couldn't afford to buy this place nowadays. That's not a gloat, I think it's rather poor. The whole housing boom seemed to halt people who wanted / needed to move. It's a bubble that has seemed ready to burst for a while... I know repossessions are up. Is this the 80s all over again? I hope not!!

And for those of us who aren't even approaching the bottom rung of the ladder yet...rental prices are going up! Woohoo!

feel the dripping sarcasm...
