I put my fathers house on the market recently, West Kent area.
Sept there was a surge created by wanting to move out of London.
Fear of lock down seems to be putting the market into the flat period typical of Christmas.
(Feedback from estate agents, not my direct knowledge)
I'm not sure what the forecast for the market is, my guess would be this year is rapidly tailing off towards Xmas and there won't be the usual buyer surge in Jan, the market will be nervous.
I would guess there may be bargains to be had next summer as Covid damage bites and repossessions go up.
I personally would be unsure buying now.
