Two weeks in and we haven’t sold the house yet! I know, I know, but now that’s it’s up for sale we just want to get out and get the van hired for the long trip north.
Seven viewings in the fist week and they (almost) all said the same thing - Lovely house, beautifully presented but there’s no central heating. So? Put the bloody central heating in then and knock the cost off the offer. I would jump at the chance of putting my own heating in rather than putting up with someone else’s radiators. Underfloor heating or skirting board heaters are far better options than trying to squeeze your furniture around inefficient radiators.
Anyway this evening we had a viewing from a lady and her son - she wants to buy a house for him to go to the local uni. Now if a young, strapping, student can’t cope without cushy central heating, lord knows what the future will bring. Thought we were supposed to be concerned about global warming anyway.

It’s not a promising time to be selling up just now, Les, and I’m afraid central heating appears to be one of those ‘must have’ mod cons. Nonetheless, I hope you’re wrong, and that it WILL sell. Good luck!

ach these soft southerners, Les, they are whining about nothing .We sold Mum’s house with no central heating, so it’s not an impossibility. We accepted a lower offer , mind you, but we just wanted it sold ,and I guess you feel the same way.
Keep your chin up, you’ll get it sold.
