It is not strongly advocated by Bembridge conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to win an injunction to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in limited circumstances, the additional payment of damages.

I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
