PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You get an option. I'm surprised it's not done more often.Dandie89 said:
This caught my eye "You can now secure the sale with a reservation fee of £1,000 which gives you exclusive rights to purchase within a given timeframe.JuzaMum said:1 bed flat for sale in Columbia Road, Bournemouth BH10 - Zoopla
A nice flat if you are happy to walk round at an angle!
Paying this fee ensures that the seller takes their property off the market and reserves it exclusively for you, therefore eliminating gazumping and aborted costs"
How does that work with English law?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I'm not sure what you mean. They seem to be suggesting if you pay £1K the seller is tied in to completing, as in Scotland, but not sure that is possible in England is it?GDB2222 said:

It isn't what normally happens in Scotland either. But just about anything is legally possible if it's what the parties want to do. Buyer would be an idiot to agree to this though.Dandie89 said:

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87828187#/One bedroom, and two bathrooms...And the "garage" is a massive 7'x5' - No where big enough for your typical car. I doubt even a Smart car would fit.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Haven't seen a 'bijou' for ages! Actually, in London that garage would be quite handy for bicycles and motorbikes..FreeBear said:or just another way for an EA to say "deceptively spacious"..
