A meaningless average

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 (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.
• Mortgage delays, perhaps leading to sale failures.
• A meaningless average.
