We’ve had our house on the market for 2.5 years now, and sold it twice, and yet we’re still not out of there. It’s getting really hard to have ties in two cities, and we just want to move on and get on with being Londoners.
Looking at the land registry, nothing has been selling on our estate. So would dropping the price make any difference? Are we at the point where we’d let it go for pence just to get our deposit out of it so we can get on with our life? If we could stick on to it as an investment we would, but in the meantime we’re living in a damp basement flat with a neighbour who’s a nice guy but likes sticking on dodgy RnB at weird hours of the morning.
In an attempt to make things feel more like home I’ve been making window boxes for our wall. It really helps.

I’ll buy your house for pence. How about 5o0 of them?
Um, OK, maybe a few more pence. 501?
