not to be

my excitement over moving has come crashing down to earth with a big fat bang. We had 2 estate agents over last week to value us for part exchange. Bovis called over the weekend and said they had a figure..it was awful. we've worked so hard to pay of a chunk of our mortgage, but their offer would negate all that and put us negative, AND it was £15,000 below the market value. there is no way we can afford to move if that is their best offer.
so understandably i was disappointed and a little upset, but we have decided to move on and look to sell on the open market, even if it is only an exercise and doesnt lead to anything. i have contacted the agents who came around last week to see what they can do.h
