Congrats Lina!

Don't dawdle with selling your home; they seem to be changing their minds every 2 seconds with the HIPs and you don't want to have to deal with those! Plus, the BoE is probably going to put interest rates up to 6% by the end of the year and that will slow down the market so hurry hurry!

We dealt with Rentons, which is one of the subsidiaries of Countrywide PLC. They have offices all over the UK but they may not be called Rentons in Leicester. We were impressed with the York office...and at the end of the day, they did sell our house. We also listed with William H Brown which is part of the Sequence group in the UK; they sent an avalanche of people through our door and their service was good. I'd recommend either one of them but look around your neighborhood at the 'for sale' signs; see who is actually selling houses at good prices and sign up with them.

Congratulations Lina, I'm so happy for you especially after all you went through to get this visa.

If I can help with questions about house selling, transferring money, moving stuff then just ask. I recently transferred some money with Interchange FX and they were very professional and fast and gave good rates. I got loads of quotes for removals and they were all very similar. Basically if you have a lot of stuff to move then it's expensive (we have a 20 foot container and it's £4500) or you can sell/give away as much stuff as possible and try to bring minimal stuff with you then start again over here (can't believe I'm saying 'over here' now!)

Good luck with it all! You've done the hard bit, feel proud of yourself :thumbs:
