I know it's different in Scotland but I'm not sure how. So a chance for you to actually impart knowledge for once.
I don't know, when did you sign a contract that bound you to exchange?
You did all of that in December, after offering and searches etc and still only completed in Feb?

Because....?

Hey light. You forgot to answer the important question too. :rotfl:

For gods sake.
You haven't bought, you merely have legally agreed to buy on an agreed date, February in you instance.

Take a scenario where maybe your funds were'nt released in time and therefore you couldn;t complete on the agreed date.
You wouldn't have bought but because of the legal contract you would be liable for additional costs.

Let's not worry about this. In geneers world, your desperate to say you bought because you offered and it was accepted in December.

In the real world, you completed in Feb and therefore the facts will refelect you bought in February.

Let's face it, it's not the first time you and you only disagree wth the undisputable facts

:rotfl:Sorry Lite but in the real world a legally binding document to complete a purchase at an agreed time is buying.

You can't even get your pedantic fall backs to go your way.

:rotfl:In geneers world offer/acceptance was in january. Completion was in February. In the real world semantic distinctions matter not a jot. In Lites world they matter very much. Because you care very much. And its such a long climb down from "your making it up" to haggling over the technical definition of buying, despite it having no particular relevance to the discussion. Exquisite.

In the real world what actually matters is when I agreed the price.

Yes. Usually when you disagree with undisputable facts, you end up latching onto some minor point of meaningless pedantry and fighting to the death over it. Then you go "ignore".

Because I'm interested to know when you bought using your dubious "fall back position" of contract signing.

Super, thanks.

Pages and pages of hundreds of posts about whether a guy you don't know and have never met has bought a house or not and when exactly he bought it. Just wish the chap good luck on his purchase, as none of this matters.

Thought it is was December? Is there a lag between the real world and Geneerworld?

Next time you have a big reveal PM me and we'll work on the delivery. It must be every comedians nightmare - having to explain why the joke's funny.

It;s buying only once the agreed transfer is taking place.
Your funds were'nt transferred till February, your simply confirming what I've been telling you all along.

I've not ignored you for a long time.
Although I have pity for you, your storytelling is pure comedy.

Come now Jonathon. How is reitterating what I've said since the start a "fall back position"? :rotfl:

Very strange that Lite didn't know what signing missives commits the buyer too and when it usually occurs in scotland.

You would have thought.
But it appears to matter very much to a few individuals.
We can only guess why this is the case.

Actually, the whole process is part of buying a house.
Offer and acceptance, completion.

Signing the missives legally commits you to completing.
If any one part had to be considered buying, this would of course be it.

Though I would still maintain that, in relation to you/Rinoa et als obsessions with Edinburgh, the critical part is indeed offer and acceptance, as this was when the price was agreed.
And price and timing is what you've been banging on about for the last year or so, isn't it? :rotfl:

It was indeed december deary. I mistyped. Once.
Hardly a case of "changes all the time".

The only thing thats really changed is your humiliating climb down from
"you didn't buy" to haggling over the technical legal definition of "bought".
For no apparent reason what so ever. :rotfl:

Of course now you're relegated to frapping yourself silly over a simple mistype.

How the lighty has fallen.:D

Oh this is indeed most amusing comedy. But only thanks to your involvement. Like I've said, it would have been a bit of a damp squib if you'd just said congrats. Happily, you guys elected to club together to ensure I got a super christmas present.

Speaking of comedy, you keep avoiding the most critical question.
So, as to the technical definition of bought, allow me to repeat.

Any chance of an answer. Or are you just going to keep ignoring it.
