    Yes, this year everyone is saying that sales and prices are going to drop.
    Well I think everyone needs to get a grip because their pandemic-inspired armageddon has turned out to be a pretty damp squib so far.
    Almost as damp as that pokey bedsit everyone’s been renting for the last twelve or so years.

    Damp squib? We are in the trickiest economic times in decades, many decades.... Anybody wishing to see the housing bubble and rigged financial system take a hit must surely be dusting off the popcorn by now?

    surely it’s sold by now ?  I had 2 offers on Saturday afternoon,  over the asking and going to final sealed bids tomorrow.  Only went back on the market on Tuesday.  Mines nothing special

    The OP only needs to get lucky once, but I`m guessing you were sensible with pricing?

    @Crashy_Time - we went under offer 3 times for £275k.  Final time was November and no chain, but even so took until last week to finally complete (everything is going so slowly).
