We put our house on the market in October 2012, but it took until October 2013 to get our first offer! Fortunately it was a good one and we accepted. Then started the chain nightmare! We found a place to buy, took 3 weeks to agree a price and since then it has been one problem after another with layers and layers adding themselves onto our supposed 'no forward chain' purchase. As of yesterday it looked like the whole chain would collapse, but we finally exchanged today. If you want to see the system changed to the Scottish system where vendors and buyers are legally bound to the deal at acceptance of the offer, sign my petition at epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/59504
