Are closing dates still being set?

tommyedinburgh

We are currently on the market here in Scotland. One of the properties we have on our shortlist might be going to a closing date we heard today. Is anyone aware of other properties going to closing dates just now during the lockdown?

Haven't noticed any. Not that it's all that relevant - if more than one person is ready to offer than it's going to a closing date, even if no other properties are.

I too am on the market in Edinburgh. Local to me the last closing date I heard was just before Lockdown.

We have three properties on our shortlist, A, B, and C. It is property B that is imminently going to closing date we've been advised so we today made a serious offer on property A. If the offer is not accepted, hopefully it will lead to serious negotiations, if it leads to nothing then we can move onto property B knowing we had a go at getting A. does that seem logical?

Do you mind me asking what price band you’re looking at in Edinburgh? We’re also looking but there’s nothing new coming on the market at all right now (understandable). Have you also viewed these properties already, before the lockdown?

Viewed them all several times before the lockdown. 

Our search range was £300-400,000.

Ah not too dissimilar to myself, except that we’ll need to wait until we can do viewings as only just starting our search. Are you offering much above HR value or taking current events in to consideration? It’s very difficult to tell how much competition there will be in what is normally a super competitive market.

Decided to make the first offer £30,000 under value to negotiate from there.

Will keep you posted. Haven’t heard back today and probably don’t expect to as the sale is part of a deceased person’s Estate.
