I still need to get my head around the borders of these......

BUT

I'll find out soon enough. I'm moving over PERMANENTLY in April (happy days!)

No doubt I'll become a "regular" on here- in the meantime

I'm Andy and work for Casas Espania.

I've got experience in PC's, I.T and lots of mobile phone repair experience, etc.

If it helps- towards the end of April I'll be moving over.

I'm currently based in Tamworth (House has sold in three days, STC)

Does anyone have anything they need bringing over? I am hoping to be on the Poole/ Portmouth/ Plymouth Ferry to Santander 22nd April (depending on passport being returned and being able to book a place for the dog on the ferry)- the offer is there. Beer tokens/ contributions towards the travel welcome. Don't ask about big stuff- I'm currently struggling to buy a van big enough in good condition to carry what few bits I am bringing- but If I can fit it in, I will)

I'm sooo looking forward to this.

See you soon

Andy :mrgreen:

Good luck with your trip Andy. Hope all goes well.

Properties in England are selling like hot cakes at present. Not sure why the sudden up-turn but was told in our area alone there are around 50 people wanting to view each house. I wonder whether it's because of the relatively new idea of 'Open House' selling or it could be that 'open House' selling is a consequence of the booming housing market and shortage of properties for sale. Anyway, I have been trying to help my daughter find a property (first timer) and it's nigh on impossible as I don't want her to go into a sealed bid situation...very frustrating. Great for sellers though, so mustn't knock it. LOL

Congratulations on your fast house sale! Very exciting time for you moving to a new country.

Indeed. I was surprised. Estate agent second visit and photos Friday, phone calls Monday afternoon with 3 viewings that night, offer received Tuesday AM and negotiations sorted, offer accepted Tuesday PM.

It cost me a small fortune with the estate agent, BUT it doesn't matter. I've got what I wanted and they've sold the house fast. I could have hung out for more but not sold it for a fair amount of time. I'm keen to get out there... so I was realistic.

As for sealed bids. No thanks. Would rather do it the old fashioned way. Agree a price and get on with it. just hope it doesn't fall through- I've handed my notice in at work here in the UK and got everything in motion. All I need now is to buy a van, sell the car and clear all the junk I've accumulated over the years lol.

(That will teach me to be a hoarder!) :lol:
