I sold my house within 24hrs but pulled out because house prices rocketed or were sold before even on market

We sold our house during lockdown and are in the process of buying another.

We got more for our house than we expected due to houses in our area being in high demand and the fact there was more demand than supply. It was sold within a week of it being on the market and we had upwards of 20 viewings.

We have moved to be closer to family as the lockdown made us realise how much our family were missing out on with our son. We moved to a completely different area, 4 hours from where we had been, but it means we have been able to afford a bigger house than we could have in our old area and we were able to have a bigger deposit as we got more than expected for our old house.

Lockdown didn't change our perspective of what a house needed to provide as we already had what we wanted, but we will now have an extra bedroom, a bigger garden and a garage. Lockdown changed our perspective about where we needed our house to be.

We were going to move abroad but due to covid and Brexit all our plans have been put on hold. Really gutted.
