      Sister in-law is looking at buying in the south west - have convinced them to wait at least until B-day January 1st 2021.

      There'll be a lot of distressed sellers in the new-year. Lovely time to go shopping.

              Outskirts of a major city but close enough to cycle in. Detached house, large garden and excellent local schools here. Local area soon to become a low traffic neighbourhood.

                    Could be relevant (at a tangent) to this discussion:

                    Next door works for a manufacturer of cars and motorcycles. typically, they have c. 4-5K bikes in UK stock this time of year (warehouse, not dealers).

                    Post lockdown they are at c. 2k units. They expect it to reach near 0 shortly.

                    They think the cause is fourfold:

                    1. Pent up demand (makes sense)
                    2. People not wanting to commute on public transport / WFH by default / moving to the countryside.
                    3. Rise in delivery services (Uber eats etc)
                    4. Factory shut downs offshore - 3 months in their case (ie supply issues to stock levels)


                    Will it last ? who knows? They're making bank currently!
