Would you look seriously now, or wait due to potential market crash?

Hi
We are relocating next year to Wales.
We have sold our house and are in rented. When we move, we'll only need a small mortgage of about £50k. We have been looking at houses and seen a couple of perfect ones, thinking we might buy and get it ready during the holidays etc ready for when we move.

Anyway, we keep reading about house prices dropping and the market crashing and my husband thinks we should wait as we would be in touch a good position with no chain, cash ready etc should this happen.

We need to be in Wales for next summer.

Thank you and really looking forward to hearing opinions

Not true land registry data sold has shown - 12% average drop already 9/22-9/23

seller don’t want scrip but they a lot have upped prices in covid with us now causing a price correction falling slowing but many like flats is 19% already
there are some very educated you tube people you do know that the world is in trillions debt hence massive nose dive in businesses going under equates to job losses = selling properties = lots on market spring- summer = prices falling
