Bingo

The house market in W4 seems to have tailed off since the last interest rate rise, with the number of viewing reducing accordingly. Our situation continues to be hampered by neighbours putting their homes up for sale. Following our next door family moving out, we now find that number 45 has been placed on the market. Theirs is a four bed but unlike us, they have already built into the loft to accommodate the extra bedroom. The price they are asking is close to ours so I am not too worried on that score.

More interesting is that they have an agents board outside which will indicate to any prospects we get, that there is another property available close by. To counter that I have now instructed Hamptons to put their own sign up, two can play at that game.

All it needs now is for 39 to go to market, which they have indicated could be a possibility, and that will be four properties sold in a line. Our newbies at 43 will definitely know they got a bargain.

We went to see Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward theatre last night, Scarlett Strallen as Mary and Gavil Creel as Bert, were first rate. To move this house selling business along I think I need a bit of luck, maybe I should find a chimney sweep and shake his hand too......
