Averil Smith lost her mother to Covid, and a year on the pandemic has depressed the market for the home she lived in
Last April was a devastating time for Averil Smith. Within a matter of days she lost her mother and brother to Covid, and was left with the job of executing her mother’s estate.
Almost a year later, the 68-year-old is struggling to sell her mother’s retirement flat, despite dropping the price by £25,000 to below a valuation made in 2013, and has been sent bills for service charges she says she cannot afford to pay until it is sold.
