Comment on Should I reveal the synopsis of my novel in my writing course? by Hannah

I’m sure that if it’s an accredited writing course then anything you produce would belong to you and you only. The course should have some kind of policy that lets you claim everything and anything you write is all your own work, and if someone does pinch your idea before you publish (if you choose to), then later on in life you can go back to these records showing that it was your story first and SUE THEM. Muahahaha!! Just make sure that when handing in assignments, you have some sheet saying that it’s your work, with the date and your signature on it. Shouldn’t be a problem

Otherwise, the course would already have some kind of protection in place for it’s students work, so i wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Comment on Is staging really necessary or can I sell a house empty? by My Take on It

You do not have to do anything you don’t want to.
The realtor is probably just thinking it might sell quicker if you have it staged to show potential buyers what each room is to be used for and how furniture may fit into that room.

If it is not in your budget to pay for staging, then don’t stage.

I would rather see you sell it empty. I know some markets are big on staging, but it is certainly not necessary. If your Realtor is being insistent at this stage, you may want to find one that will work with you, not dictate what is going to happen.

Staging is simply "eye candy". Staging usually makes for a quicker sale. You may sell it empty, however, you may not sell as quickly as if you staged it.

It’s up to you – not the realtor. Having it empty is perfectly acceptable – but you DO need to have it thoroughly cleaned. Professional cleaning and repair of any obvious defects will make it sell much faster.

They are only suggesting what they think will sell the house more quickly. You are the seller and in control and remember they are working for you. So do what you want to do, if they insist, get another agent. Good luck.

I think it really is your call. Staging definitely would help because it can show people wanting to buy what this house could be like in the future and make it more attractive to them. In advertising and such, it's always about the package it's delivered in to advertise, not so much as what you will actually get. But then again, it really wouldn't be too bad if you didn't stage it since you said you just want to get it done and are not looking for the absolute highest price you could get. If I were you I probably wouldn't stage it. Hope this helps!

Comment on does anyone know about house buying politics? by Help if i can

I am an agent and this does happen quite regularly. Legally there is nothing that you can do....The Vendor is reliant on your cash for her onward purchase tho, so technically you hold the cards. I would explain your position to the agent and make it clear that this was not the agreement and that you cannot wait a possible 2-3 months longer. You may have to threaten to pull out, but beware if the property is saleable and she knows this, she may call your bluff and try for a new flexible purchaser!

You’re involved in a chain, the more people in the chain the more likely it is that something will go pear shaped.
Everything that happens further up the chain affects you. Really, she should have decided all that before getting you involved in buying her house, she’s not being reasonable and what are you supposed to do if it takes her months to find her ideal house? It would be more reasonable of her to rent short term and buy from their.
But this is what your solicitor is for; they should be dealing with her not you. They could try writing to her but the only lever you have is threatening to pull out; you don’t want to so that puts her in a strong position.
You could try getting your solicitor to set a reasonable time on it because she’s putting you to inconveniance.
