Nice one malc,
The monies in place, up to what I think its worth to me as a project. Unfortunately it is more then likely going to be worth slightly more to someone else whos intending to have it as their family home, there was a lot of interest on the open day so im not holding my breath will see what happens on the 26th.

they do sell for over the estimated price, that is just to attract a good amount of bidding.
you could go along to the estate agent who has put the property up for auction and make them an offer sometimes they will accept and take it out of auction. i did this on the last property that i purchased, i told the estate agent that i would purchase it. he answered what do mean? i said i will meet the asking price. he informed the vendors they accepted.
 
Month ahead like always. Well the last two years anyway. Keep thinking I'm going to have a break and start my extension then something turns up. Like a bad penny.
 
My boss always keeps me in busy, also got a good month or so of weekends and a couple of evenings ahead of me for myself.

3 full houses to do. 2 within the next couple of months and 1 lined up for the summer. A garage conversion for a villa player. Kitchens bathrooms and loads of other smaller private jobs. Kitchen extension for a regular builder Phone won't stop ringing. Could do with someone to help me really
 
Having to turn it away at the moment and I hate that . Would much rather pass it on. Make a bit and keep both customer and a reliable spread happy.

The vendors son is adamant its going to auction malc
The guide price is very low for the area i have already made a offer of 10% over the upper guide price which was turned down. It'd serve him right if it was only to achieve its starting price at auction he lose out badly.

good luck with the bidding scottie 5
 
try and stand at thye back of the room aswell, there are stories of auctioneers taking bids off the wall, i.e bids from nobody, basically making you bid against yourself, these people would sell their own granny.

when auctioneers take bids off the wall it means that you are bidding against a reserve price.
 
not sure of the fineties of it, I'm aware the vendor is allowed to have someone there to bid the price up on his behalf, if the bid finishes on him , the auctioneer will make some excuse and stop the auction, you should watch them in anycase.
 
**** loads on the go atm busiest ive ever been 5 full flats gym. Two full houses several kitchens n a more

Do you work on your own or have a lab?

Work on my own bud. I often think about getting a young lad but I ddon't know if it'll make things quicker, or just easier?

For example The other day I could have done with one because I spent 2 hours knocking plaster off when I could have been boarding the ceiling. But in general I don't know if it'd work. Thats why I prefer to have another spread. We can muck in together with everything. Not just the labouring bit.
