So now the housing market restrictions are slowly lifting, we've had a call from our solicitor to say that our seller in the chain was chasing to see if we still want to proceed. It's a small chain, with just us in the middle, our seller (property is ex- rental and currently empty) and our buyers, who are investors. It was fairly early in the process, so structural surveys haven't been completed.
Buyers survey on our house was literally due to happen days after lockdown was announced. The whole process has obviously been frozen since then. I spoke to our estate agent today who said he is still furloughed but will be contacting them when he goes back next week.
In my head, it's already a dead duck unfortunately
I just can't see, as they're investors and the property market looks so uncertain right now, that they'd want to continue. DH is trying to remain optimistic but I'm feeling really glum about it all. We do need to move for space really (baby no2 is due imminently) but I just don't know how we'll manage that any time soon now.
Not sure what the point is to moaning as no one can really see into a crystal ball, especially for something as unprecedented as this. I just feel really glum and wanted to vent I think
positive thoughts or reality checks equally welcome. I know there are far worse things we could be worrying about right now but I'm struggling to give my head a wobble today...
