Have a mandatory two-week gap between exchange and completion of house sales

What the petition asks

Removal companies throughout the country are getting messed around with bookings. It's impossible to organise staff at short notice. Customers are booking removal companies who cannot fulfill the date due to late notice.
Removal companies put a lot of effort into customers from initial sale to completion and we are expected to drop everything at a minutes notice. We're losing work due to last minute cancellations.
