Looking to Move out

It is.

Gazumping is less common in Scotland than it is in England and Wales. A large proportion of properties in Scotland are sold by solicitor estate agents, bound by Law Society of Scotland rules that are designed to prevent gazumping.

These Law Society of Scotland rules dictate that, where a solicitor has accepted an offer on behalf of their client, they cannot accept another offer from a different party and they must withdraw from acting for their client if the client wishes to negotiate with that new, potential buyer. Of course, nothing stops the seller from switching solicitors in this scenario

I’m in the process of buying a flat aswell. @CliftonGeraldi best of luck in your search.

I had a mortgage offer a month ago then last week I got a phone call saying they pulled the offer as the mortgage advisor shouldn’t have offered me it. Stupid cunt!! Had to go to a broker this time and he got me a good one with Nationwide. Just waiting to sign for it again now hope it goes better this time around :joy:

All the best to you too buddy, hope everything goes well and smoothly. :slightly_smiling_face:

I do agree that the mortgage brokers take away a lot of the hassle which helps.

I can now finally answer the question! :sunglasses:

I will be 27 when I move out. Got the keys to my new flat today. :tada::tada::grin:

I actually own a flat now and have a mortgage to pay each month. This is the first proper adult moment of my life :joy::joy:

Won’t be moving in until March as I need to make livable first tho.

Bought a few beers to celebrate. Heineken if you are interested @JakeyBoy cheers :beers:

Make sure you arrange for Sky/Virgin to be installed on the day you move in. That’s the first thing I did. Couldn’t risk missing an Arsenal defeat :laughing:

Ayyyyy congrats bro :clinking_glasses:

I mean, a mortgage in Scotland must be like twenty quid a month, but congrats nonetheless.

Kidding. We all need our mum.

Congratulations anyway. It is such a good feeling when you move out… until you realise that you have to cook, clean, iron… :laughing:

Jesus fucking Christ. I had to leave London to buy, I’m out on the Essex coast and my two bed flat still sets me back £500 plus per month, which I felt was brilliant!
