The local banning smoking. Never smoked, never will, detest it.

It’s just sad another gateway to the past has been closed.

I don't understand this post. Smoking was banned years ago inside places of work, by law. How can they only just of banned it?

Banning it outside in the beer garden possibly?

Guessing with pubs being far more reliant on the use of outdoor space, it has been banned outside as well.

My brother put his house on the market a few weeks ago in Norfolk. Within 4 days he'd been given a full asking price offer from a woman in Manchester who had only looked at the pictures online. He's now gutted that he didn't put it up for sale with a higher asking price.

He doesn't have to sell. Pull out of sale and relist.

He asked for a price and he achieved it. Sale agreed, it is immoral to renege for greed.

The phrase sustainability being used by people who bring us software updates that “brick“ our electronic equipment.. And organisations that think that everyone going to an office is the future. Wise up folks.

Agreed....but he could do it, there is only his conscience stopping him.

The buyer could also pull out and then you are left with a house to sell again. If someone did that to me I would walk away. Buying / selling a house is stressful enough without someone playing games. You need to trust the buyer / seller and if they mess about after an agreed deal then that trust is gone for me.

I believe that he has accepted the offer but can't confirm that. The main issue for him is that the valuation was done by the estate agent during lockdown on photos/videos supplied by my brother rather than a visit by the agent. He's now wondering if he should've waited and got professional photos and descriptions done once lockdown finished to try to get a higher price.

Totally agree, I would also walk away.

What do nearby houses go on for? Was it around the right figure? The estate agent will know prices for the area, looks at the pictures, would a visit in person make that much of a difference?

I guess it comes down to how much extra would he ask for? Is it worth potentially losing the sale for that or do you keep quiet, breathe a sigh of relief that it sold so quickly?

About time.
I don't see why we should have to sit in a cloud of stinking smoke every time time we sit outside a bar or cafe.

No exaggeration there, then!
