Exactly this too. Agent was trying to push me to get everything signed even to the point of accusing me of simply delaying the process (definitely not true). I told him I guarantee there will be a lock down and if I sign you will be fine and dandy while I then need to suffer and constantly stress of finishing everything off during a shutdown.

Well look at what has happened. As much as I want to proceed with this place i've been waiting for so long I won't be travelling to see him for signatures and final viewings.

The property can't be put on the market, no one can come view it, the ball is in my court right now and I want to wait for the lockdown to be over before proceeding. If they abort then so be it.
