UK property (houses)

we've had a couple of houses (first time buyer type) for sale since spring with next to no interest. My daughter has, for a similar period, had her first time house for sale. She has finally received an offer - less than she paid for the place 14 years ago, but nonetheless she is leaning to accept it as 1) she could rather do with the money 2) is concerned by something of a trend with people she knows. That is, they have their homes up for sale with the intention (if they sell) of moving into rentals to ride out the coming storm, then buy a better place with the cash when things stabilise.
Is this widespread?
What happened to "safe as houses"?
Only got wind of this as she was asking my advice but in the current climate i have no idea - other than she should maybe grab the offer in hand (poultry as it is!)

They are worth what someone is willing to pay . sentiment doesn't come in to it .


I agree. I don’t know where I brought sentiment into it. And the new reality would appear to be that “what someone is willing to pay” is currently falling like a stone. C’est la vie but I am thinking that my daughter will accept the offer in the morning (30% less than offered a year ago:facepalm:)

Thought your daughter was about 18 . :scratchhead:
