With AANM behind you, I think your chances are good.

Good luck - make sure there's somewhere for us to crash if we come visiting.

Make sure that Manzo's not with you, though...

Best of luck with the house.

how's this for fate.......
2 swedish ex-workmates ("stunners" both!) dropped by my shop today, and I was showing them pics of the house, when one of them remarked that it looked very "Danish".

Did I mention that they were home in Sweden long before I discovered WesWorld?

Spooky or what???

Now you mention it, it does look very Danish actually.

The swede I don't want to meet is a root vegetable. Disgusting things, especially roasted.

Good Luck,

It looks very sweet. Danish? It's not made of gingerbread is it? ; )

I don't think the missus could live with the neighbours so close.

Um, where does the car go?

Cheers,

There is a gravel parking area about 10 metres by 20 metres in front of the house for cars (just visible in photo), but I'm more interested in the side entrance, so the bike can go around the back into the shed!!

BTW, when will you know whether you have succeeded or not?

There are still 2 more viewings to happen that I am aware of, and we are at the second of those for an inspection with the Mrs.'s father and brother (both have experience from the construction industry).
Assuming they say that it's all in one piece and not in danger of sliding into the stream behind it, we just have to hold on and hope that another buyer doesn't outbid us.

As it stands at the moment, the bidding runs as follows....
starting bid (Thursday) = E 340,000.00 = us
next day (10.30am) = E 341,000.00 = opposition
immediate reply (10.31am) = E 342,000.00 = us

Nothing else so far, so that 341 bid might just have been to see if we were serious, but we should (hopefully) have an answer in about 10 days.

them = 343,000 (same them!)
Us = 344,000..........
tic toc tic toc tic toc..............

Your opinions please, if the other guy goues to 345,
should I go to 350 to see if he will be scared off, or just keep going as we are??

Oops, sorry. that was me - Is that what that 'bid' button on the website does? *just kidding*

Just don't go over your budget.

The other guy isn't a vendor bid?

Have you heard of a Dutch auction? A room full of people, the bidding starts too high, say at 500,000 and then comes down. The first person to raise their hand wins. Stressful eh?

Sounds familiar. That's the way the flowers are auctioned. This is much faster than when you go up with the price everytime.

If you'd otherwise be happy to pay 350 for the place, and can afford to do so, by all means - fire away.

But it might not be a bad idea to set a cap on what you're willing to bid, so you don't wind up getting too carried away.
