Why hasn't it?
Is there a way of voicing our opinion about wanting it to change? How do laws get changed?
I read an article about suggesting a mix of both the French and Scottish systems. Along the lines of an offer being binding but there being a 10 day cooling off period.
The way we buy and sell houses is archaic and stressful and allows for both buyers and sellers to behave in an unfair and unreasonable manner to each other (gazumping, gazundering, offers being made and withdrawn leaving others out of pocket for solicitor's fees, surveyors fees etc).
Is there anything that can be done? I don't know a single person who has bought or sold a house in the UK who thinks our system is good.
Any thoughts?
