Stuart and Simon discuss a Covid-19 influenced viewing experience, stamp duty and the speed (or not) of completing a sale.
The chat this week includes:
* Awkward property viewings.
* Vendor vs agent viewing styles.
* The additional stamp duty rate on your primary residence.
* The stamp duty holiday rates (https://blog.patma.co.uk/2020/09/stamp-duty-holidays-england-scotland-wales/) (spreadsheet).
* Another offer has been accepted (via a new agent).
* Trying to complete by Christmas.
* Average of 77 days for a "proceedable offer".
* Average of 123 days for conveyancing.
* Purchases missing the stamp duty holiday (https://thenegotiator.co.uk/conveyancing-delays-365000-sales-to-miss-deadline-claims-report/).
* Mortgage delays, perhaps leading to sale failures.
* A meaningless average.
