Completed petition Stop Gazumping; Follow Scotland's Buying Process.

​My name is Victoria Bridle.  My husband and I used to live in South East London and moved to North Wales about three and a half years ago. Just a few weeks ago we put in an offer on a house that we fell in love with, which was accepted so the House was Sold Subject To Contract. Our estate agent had told us that they told the other agent to take it off the market so it was no longer available for viewings or acceptances.  Everything was going really well until we got told by our Estate Agent that the other agent had a phone call saying someone else put an offer in and that got accepted. So all we paid out was the Solicitors fees.

We setup this Petition to try and stop this from happening as we had everything including a Mortgage offer in place.

To top it off we even saw the Sellers on the Saturday with our 18 month old to have a final look around for fixtures and fittings.  The sellers even told us what they wanted to leave for us and we shook on it too. When telling other people they had thought that Gazumping was illegal, clearly not.

To top it off I went in to this other agent the other day to ask if they had anything else on sale. They even tried giving to me the very house we got Gazumped on. So they are clearly trying to Gazump these people which is clearly wrong. Please sign this petition and pass it on to family and friends to sign to try and stop this from happening.
