Are you certain about that? If so, it seems very strange that the

I've got a mate who's been 'gazumped' three times in about as many
months. Once by a cash buyer for a lower sum. Has cost him a fortune
in surveys, etc. He's now attempting to buy new 'off plan' in the hope
it won't happen again.


In London?

Quite possibly - there's lots of stuff being redeveloped. Off plan could
include a full site refurbishment and repurposing, eg old warehouse or
wharfage buildings being converted to flats -
