Well, the buyers may well just knock it down and build something else!
Pretty certain that's what's going to happen to my mum and dad's place. Shame my parents never did it themselves TBH as now my mum is lumbered with a somewhat decrepit 30s converted bungalow that costs an arm and leg to heat with a massive garden that costs another arm and a leg to look after, but she can't move as she'll not get enough for it to make moving worth it and anything spent improving it is just good money after bad.

We finally sold my mother’s place a couple of months ago after she went into a home in Portugal and the death of my father. They had it for 55 years and and I was quite sad for a while when it went, it was kind of a final ending in a lot of ways.
On the plus side I drove past it a couple of weeks ago and it now looks lived in and cherished, more so than in many years. -
I recently looked up one of my childhood homes, last sold 2018 for 4x the price of my current house

My parents' place is up on Rightmove - they've been there since before I was born and it's surreal to think of them living somewhere else. It's definitely the best thing for them but it's hard to think of someone else living there
