It doesn't really matter when you've already agreed - in principle anyway - to pay the pre-lockdown price. The place is as valuable to you as it was the day before lock-down, what the market thinks is, at the point after that, mostly irrelevant.
Unless you find that you now can't finance it. In which case you come back with pretty stonking apology and a begging bowl, not a demand for 1/5th off.

Oh I agree the buyer is being a twat. Oddly so, tbh - if they wanted a chance of the discount then spinning a tale of for e.g. the bank pulling the mortgage offer and only offering 20% under etc would make a lot more sense. Just saying 20% take it or leave it invites being told to fuck off.
Dammit
15.9% in 2008 according to some very light Googling. 20 seems excessive, but then lockdown seemed excessive at the time of Cheltenham.
