Fart, my point is, there are better systems than what is acceptable at the moment in England and Wales. A deposit soon sorts out the the time wasters and if you read my post,

Yet we manage in Scotland to run a better system than E&W without the use of deposits .....

The seller has the surveys done before the house goes on the market. Surveys are done buy a registered surveyor who has appended a Declaration to the report so a Buyer has that assurance that it is a bona fide survey

That's done in Scotland, too

Oh in the pack it has to show the utility bills are up to date as well as Property Tax has been paid for the current year.

Sellers in Scotland have the option to add this kind of thing to their Home Report (the single survey).

Both fart and I, and Hamish suggest that a better system than E&W can be run without deposits. We've been running it this way for years.
