We can due to exchange next week and I’m really considering pulling out given the general mess of the UK economy and the potential extra tax that have been suggested. Am I be ridiculous? Husband is team buy.

Pulling out last minute due to suggested future tax changes? Is the poor economy totally new information to you or something?

Madness. Utter and complete madness.

Honestly if you are that tight to the wire that anything Reeves has in store is a deal breaker, you probably already can’t afford it

How much flex is in your budget

Not ridiculous but overly anxious. If you love the house, can afford it and are planning to stay for a significant time then go for it.
