A big THANK YOU to everyone for their interest and fantastic support over the sale of our house (Mount Pleasant, Watten). We have now SOLD!
I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of selling, to advertise privately first, before signing any open-ended contracts with an estate agent. We were tied in to a local agent initially (for 18 months!), and although had interest nothing ever came to a conclusion. In hindsight we feel a lot of this was down to mis-communication and not dealing direct with interested parties. In less than a month of private advertising on caithness.org and a classified ad on ebay, we now have a concluded bargain. There are still lots of people out there looking for a change of lifestyle, but watch out for the time-wasters!
Good luck to everyone out there who is selling their house. What a nightmare - but its a good feeling when it gets there in the end!!
