Council house sublets from her mum, just been gifted garden furniture
Lucie storied that she was out with the hairdresser they both normally go to today. I wonder how she must feel about Lara being so vocal about going to this other hairdressers.I don’t think Stacey does gifted does she?
From floor plan it looks like 75-80 sqm house, so quite small. Looks like they are getting desperate enough to consider this now.After today’s video, I’m like JUST GO FOR A SMALLER HOUSE MATE!!
I hate all this talk about the market isn’t “normal” etc. It is what it is, you get what you can and get on with your life! I live in a two
bed flat and we were grateful we could afford that 3yrs ago! Yes I’d like to have more space but at least we have a roof over our heads and a little space to call home.
I understand her frustration but I really can’t understand why they won’t accept their situation?
Oh I see, maybe my outburst was a bit unnecessary then how do you guys find the floor plans etc?So the latest house, I think it's the one that was listed for £410k and it's a typical 3 bed, nothing special. Looks like they are bringing their standards down and being more realistic. They could have offered more if they wanted to, last time they did offer £500k after all.

Because accepting her current situation isn’t insta worthyAfter today’s video, I’m like JUST GO FOR A SMALLER HOUSE MATE!!

I found a house that matched the description of being 3 bed, where they could put a sofa bed in the dining room, with the same design of houses as you could see from the window of their car after they came out from the viewing listed right before Thursday the 27th of May (when she said they viewed the house) on rightmove and there's a floor plan there.Oh I see, maybe my outburst was a bit unnecessary then how do you guys find the floor plans etc?
She did lower her expectations this time (though she probably still needs to compromise more) but her negotiation skills are non-existent. I know she lost out to a cash buyer on this property but she’s telling estate agents everything about her. If you basically tell agents that you’re desperate, love everything about the house and are willing to pay above asking (and even make your first offer above asking) then of course they’re going to manufacture bidding wars.Oh I see, maybe my outburst was a bit unnecessary then how do you guys find the floor plans etc?
Oh you are good Can you give a clue of what area they are now looking at? In the vlog they both made a point of saying it was a nice area.I found a house that matched the description of being 3 bed, where they could put a sofa bed in the dining room, with the same design of houses as you could see from the window of their car after they came out from the viewing listed right before Thursday the 27th of May (when she said they viewed the house) on rightmove and there's a floor plan there.
Still the same area, they are looking around Basingstoke, I just put the train station +5 miles when I search.Oh you are good Can you give a clue of what area they are now looking at? In the vlog they both made a point of saying it was a nice area.
She has always said that being a first time buyer puts them in the best position. That is hardly ever true.Actually this was the first time I felt sorry for her. They seemed genuinely excited by the house, it seemed achievable budget wise and they seemed realistic about the compromises. I do think she places a lot of weight on first time buyers/their whole back story when the estate agent clearly couldn’t care less, but I think they were maybe unlucky this time.
I hope maybe this means she’s given up manifesting a 5-bed, massive garden, utility room etc etc and will actually find something now.
That's because she IS a complete amateur.And the way she was telling the estate agent to pass on to the vendors how much they love the house and plan to live there for many years. As if a vendor will turn down more money because Lara and Stu plan to make it a family home for years to come.
She comes across as a complete amateur. I think she is in panic station mode. They should have brought years ago. She had too high expectations and now that it is a seller's market getting upset because they have compertion on every house they see.
Exactly!!! XHow can you be an expert on buying and selling, and offering advice if you’ve never done it? She’s got no experience of chains, the process, what it’s really like to buy and sell so why is she setting herself up as an expert?
I know she is such an embarrassment.How can you be an expert on buying and selling, and offering advice if you’ve never done it? She’s got no experience of chains, the process, what it’s really like to buy and sell so why is she setting herself up as an expert?
