There are things in Scottish law that are worse than in English law.
If you want the advantages of Scottish law, simple solution, move to Scotland!
There are two sorts of people...
a) Those who think the grass is always greener in the next field...
2) Those who are content to live in their own country, taking the good with the bad
iii) Those who can't count..0 -

If the OP has spent money sorting out problems that may have put buyers off, that money is not lost as it should help get a new buyer.
It would be helpful to know what £5k was spent on.
It would be interesting to know what the money was spent on and several people have asked but the OP is being very forthcoming.0 -
Just want sympathise with you. Our buyer dropped out yesterday and it's horrible. I feel sick as we may now lose the house we want.
We had been upfront about an issue we knew would come up in the survey. We have offered to do the work but she says no, she's pulling out. The work is about 3.5 k.
It's just a rubbish thing to happen, but the work you did will help you to sell it to someone else.0 -
Sounds like you need to get that work done now then loveka.0

If you were in this situation in scotland nothing would be different. Either side can pull out right up to when contracts have exchanged. Indeed, we pulled out of a purchase as we had a change of heart, and that's all it'll probably be.0
