I am currently trying to sell my late mother's house... In June I had 16 viewings in 2 weeks and got 5 very good offers, naturally went for the highest bidders who were genuinely charming people who I'd be happy for my mum's house to go to..... 2 months later, they have just pulled out 4 days before they were due to take possession and have never signed the missives (unbreakable contract to buy in Scotland). I'm pretty sure the cost of living and difference in mortgage rates between June and now has spooked them. I think I can hear the gears grinding on the housing market but I'm not expecting to get nearly such good offers now its going back up for sale.
(and of course in the meantime I have completely emptied the house, its unfurnished - bad new for viewings, and I don't even have any tools there to tend the garden or even mow the lawn anymore!)
