.......I have said no, even though I am desperate to sell. They are not supposed to be leaving their own home except for essential reasons. And I am in vulnerable group.

Agent said they are not doing viewings with T4 folk, but let me make the final decision. I am in Tier 2.

For heavens sake, what a waste of your time. Why didn't they look at the local council planning applications portal and do some research before coming, how very irritating.

Perhaps ask the estate agent to contact Wednesday's viewers to tell them that the land isn't in the neighbourhood plan.

Maybe they will think it over again if that is the only thing worrying them. You have put their minds at rest. I know I would rather have heard the reasons from the owner who has researched things than the (devious) agent. One good thing about doing the viewings yourself!
Good luck for Wednesday!

Luckygirl like Ellianne says they may think it over and change their mind. Fingers crossed for Wednesday.

You have been through a lot of disappointment it's time your luck changed. Hope 2021 will be your year.flowers

Well now- a couple from England wanting to relocate to Scotland asap and with their 3 dogs thank you very much for £600 a month. Advertising in my home area. Prompted me to ask if they were really serious at the height of a pandemic which saw us in lockdown. Oh what an argument ensued with people saying you can go where you like because it is essential. One guy reckoned his son who works for a removal firm was jumping back and forth over border several times a week! Now I think this is yet another loophole which needs plugging. I suggested that proposed cross border moves, at this time, need to be independently scrutinised and standardised. And I stick by that view. It cannot be that I cannot move out of my home authority to visit my family members based in Scotland, but people can completely change their lives to move here in a Covid high risk situation. Just not right.

Viewings might be 'allowed' but it's hardly sensible, right now, is it? Only those who urgently need to move should even consider it!

My vendor is moving from England to Fife when we complete in early March, she is moving to be near her elderly parents. To avoid removals she is having her furniture put into storage.
