i think going by the legal wording that the mortgage must have been approved,i have to now accept the offer legally this will be a contract that if they or i back out a claim for losses can be made by eitherside,
taking a walk to estate agents shortly, il ask along with other questions i have regarding this contract letter

**grahamw48** · 27th June 2013

I think I'd be showing it to my solicitor first, before ruling out other potential buyers.

Sounds like you're selling too cheap.

my estate agent is solicitors and estate agents, they all seem to be combined together here, i am happy with the offer it far exceeds my expectations, and more than paid me back for all the work iv done in the house, it looks great and so does the money

**imagine** · 28th June 2013

this morning i completed my basic disclosure online paid and emailed required documents,now just to wait the 10 to 14 days they say it takes, so that one job out the way

i can feel my adrenalin running, so much to do , can i cope

Sounds a wonderful start Stewart

Would be a good idea to have a meeting with the estate agent and get to understand what that letter means in terms of legal liabilities etc and also to discuss dates and conditions etc.
Usually the date of their entry is dependent upon the money being deposited to your account and confirmed by the bank.
DO NOT allow them to move in before that. Period.

Honestly Stewart, if you happy with the price and can live with their planned moving-in date then personally I wouldn't be too tough in any negotiations over the smaller issues. Sound like they have the money signed-off and also there's no chain. All good signs.

Someone's looking out for you

the letter had all the conditions even down to my having to give warranty for central heating breakdown of costs over £300 no liability if under £300, period of warranty only 5 days,the completion date was asking for my suggested date and to be agreed now with the buyer,these papers i took to estate agent and discussed the letter and liabilities yesterday, everything cosha and on track so far,the estate agent says it usualy takes 6 weeks now from that letter to completion date,i asked for 7 weeks to make sure i have enough time to do my stuffs

the offer is in and according to scottish law if either party backs out one can claim costs and expenses incured,
on the entry date, by 3pm i must be out of the property keys handed over ,at the same time the monies from buyer for house has to be paid to the solicitor, then signed sealed delivered, im homeless lol,after which my solicitor pays off my outstanding mortgage settlement, and deposits the rest in my bank, then i will have a heart attack looking at my ballance lol

I'm surprised and happy for you Stewart...like a few of us on here, you've had more than your share of bad luck.
I pray it all works out for you both.

Cheers

thanks Mark, theres always light at the end of the tunnel my friend

Well I'm late into this thread, but really happy for you fella.

Especially good news that the house has sold so quickly.

As you know, there will be ups and downs to this next chapter in your life, but with a backup plan just in case.....well we just have to give it a go don't we?

The alternative is to look back and maybe regret, you've just got to go for it
