Drastic change in the law necessary

House sales in Scotland can still fall through, in fact it’s increasingly so now, ime. We sold last year but it wasn’t a ‘slam dunk’ until the moment we had the money in the bank. That was quite a shock to us, after having previously bought and sold in the Scottish system.

I would sign but I can't find it. Any chance of a link?

If there are others who have been affected by the anguish of buying and selling houses in England and who have been frustrated and left in the lurch by would-be buyers "pulling out" [ridiculous expression] after several weeks, would they please sign the Change.org petition to have the law tightened to stop this nefarious practice and make the sale binding? After all, if Scotland [and most other places where we have lived in the world] can do it, then so can England.
Happy New Year everyone
