Had an offer accepted on a house last Friday, looking at the memorandum of sale from the estate agent which sets 'completion by end October' as a condition of sale.
Moving quickly suits us, we have money ready and submitted our mortgage application and instructed solicitors on Monday so doing everything we can to progress quickly and will continue to so - even been taking papers to solicitors in person to save postal time!
Obviously though there is a lot that is out of our control so I can't see how this condition of sale is really enforceable - would any seller walk away from a sale because delays in searches etc. means they have to wait another week or so?
