2) And when an offer is accepted it is legally binding or subject to compensation should they back out
2) And when an offer is accepted it is legally binding or subject to compensation should they back out
By doing this the entire process prior to exchange and completion will be much much faster, chains are less likely break by people pulling out or while waiting for lengthy council searches (South Wiltshire 35-40 days July/Aug 2015). And developers can be more confident in the effective process and business cash flow when building new houses.
Saving everyone stress, money and making the property market flow more effectively.
