To proceed with house purchase

My husband and I sold our property back in September 2019 and have been living with family since. We found and put an offer on a property in January soon after they reduced there asking price by £25k and got an offered accepted £5k less than the new price.
they are pushing for an exchange date of the end of March, but I am so concerned with what’s happening with the coronavirus as to whether we should proceed with the purchase or cut our losses and wait to see what happens with the housing market.
we aren’t in jobs that are currently in the firing line but who knows whether that may change in the next couple of months.

Many thanks for any advice

There is now a guanteed recession, possibly depression coming in the next few months, result loads of jobs gone, min spending, in my opinion will have a very negative effect on house prices, your decision end of day, I would definitely not be buying at the moment.1
