We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Hmm, anything to add Crashy? Unlike your predictions mine only took 3 weeks to come true
A bit mean I know!
I live in Wales so doesn't apply to us sadly and my house is stuck waiting valuation. A positive step though as long as people can stay safe.0 -
What if I don't want a potentially infected person coming into my (rented) place? Could I argue that is not unduly or unreasonably withholding the right of the Landlord to conduct viewings? Or ask the lettings agent to arrange disinfection of my flat and provide the viewers with face masks, gloves and ask them not to touch anything?Credit card: £8,524.31 | Loan: £3,224.80 | Student Loan (Plan 1): £5,768.55 | Total: £17,517.66Debt-free target: 21-Mar-2027

We have a viewing of a house we’ve already had an offer accepted on. We’re to go in one at once. No more than 15 mins. We have to wear masks and gloves. The windows will be open. The cupboard doors will be open and we’re not to touch anything. The place will be cleaned by the EA before and after. We will use hand sanitiser. The vendors will be out.annetheman said:What if I don't want a potentially infected person coming into my (rented) place?
