There are hills. Some are over 30 metres high……

Now we have started properly, just want to get a new house and move.

commission seems fairly standard here of 1.5%, only one agent offered lower, but much less prominent, and we need to sell quickly.
yeah, new baby, new house, new job – had to get job while looked like mountain, and do 8 weeks of new job in cambridgeshire with chris and sb in leeds before mat leave – truly stressful! job restarts may, so no choice! true madness

Comission still sounds a bit high to me- we put our house on the market in Jan (2001) ang got a special offer of 0.75%, although, as we didnt get it in writing and didnt check the small print when it came thru, (so many other things to think about, this can easily be overlooked, so be warned), we ended up paying 1%, the difference of the price of a dishwasher, I seem to remember! Well, maybe these things change and are regional, but its worth checking the small print, anyway, if youve got a special deal verbally. Anyway, are you a glutton for punishment moving with a small baby? Actually, I had a 4 month old then…why do we do it to ourselves?
