Hi Gill,
In Scotland everyone puts in verbal offers but your house in not really sold until missives are signed. This can take anything from 4/5 weeks to months. My husband (cynical man) says that your house is not sold until money is in the bank !!! If they pull out after signing missives all you can do is sue them for costs. Not easy-especially if we're at the other end of the World....Our house is under offer but subject to buyers selling theirs. We too have been advised to suspend viewing but are starting to fell this might be a big mistake. Don't want to lose these genuine buyers but also don't want to end up wasting months if this sale doesn't happen.
