\"OurWe’re on the move. A couple of weekends ago we arranged for four local estate agents to value our flat. We were pleasantly surprised, and it’s now on the market with Martyn Gerrard<\/a> in North Finchley. Although they are slightly more expensive to use, we were impressed with how realistic the valuation was and how professional the estate agent seemed. A week has now gone by and we’ve started to get one or two people viewing; hopefully it will pick up soon.<\/p>\n

We’re moving out of London as we’d like a bit more peace and quiet and somewhere where we can ride bikes and go for walks at the weekend. As times have changed and there is now two of us instead of one we can afford quite a bit more so we’re looking to get a garden as well. Another summer without hosting a barbecue would be too much!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as our flat is above a shop it may take a little longer to sell than most. We’ve never found that a disadvantage, though – with a white goods shop below us, an office to one side, a shop owner and his family on the side that we don’t spend much time and very friendly neighbours we’ve hardly heard a peep from anybody and have been able to make as much noise as we want. Hopefully someone will visit soon and want to spend their next few years in it!<\/p><\/div>\n
