Bought my flat a bit over a year ago. It was a tough time at the the tail end of lockdown, with people fighting each other in the street over properties, and I'd been homeless for a year after rejecting three previous accepted offers - it took its toll on me. Came down to the seller recognising me from my local and asking about to see if I was a decent guy (amazingly I passed that test).
