First time buyer in Scotland, saw house, liked it, went rount to
solicitor
and told him to put in offer which he did that day, closing date was set
for
4 days from then as more people had been interested, got call from
solicitor
on closing date to tell me offer had been accepted, next day went to
solicitors office and signed the neccesery forms, 5 days later sellers
signed their side of the paperwork, agreeing on a move in date of 4 weeks
from then, from that moment on the contract is signed ansd sealed so the
sellers cannot accept a bigger offer, basicly the deal was done within
10-14
days of me seeing the house.
Why is the English property selling system so open to abuse?
Why dont they change it?
