It is quite common for the brakes to seize on RWD Volvos, especially if unused for a period of time. The callipers can usually be unseized fairly easily and cheaply and other components are fairly cheap to replace.
Is the cat actually damaged/missing or is the problem a warning lamp or a confirmed P0422 OBDII code? Only the first of these implies a new cat.
Also note that if the cat is original its trade in value might go a long way to covering the repairs you’ve mentioned so far.
As to price, I paid £900 last year for one with a similar mileage and eight months MOT. Many on here have said that was a low price; but it worked for both the seller and me at the time. I’d have willingly paid a similar amount for yours if I were still in the market - which with five cars four of which are Volvo estates I’m not!
Good luck with the sale.
