Yeah that is a good backup plan, my dumb ass hasn't even completed on the mortgage yet, but we've still put in quite a bit of money at this point so I'm basically all in on buying it.
Although it maybe a struggle for a few months, I'm sure that once it starts to ease here and we are no longer on lockdown it should bounce back pretty quickly. Worst case I know we have family that are in a position to be able to help with some bills luckily so it'll work out fine in the end. Even if I was to get it and die I'd get paid 8x my salary which would be more than enough to pay off the house so least wouldn't leave the partner in the shit.
Dark but least I know it's okay anyway.
Also wonder how long it would take to sell a home with things like they are right now- this is a hot area, but are people really still house-hunting with 'lockdowns' in place?

lol probably not buying homes, apart from me OFC
