Well, I jinxed it, didn't I!? Seller has been gazumped and currently we're back to uncertain waiting. Will probably sort itself out in the end but it's massively frustrating when you've been told "Go, go, GO!" and now it's "Wait, wait, wait" :-C
Honestly the second you hit Sold STC you should be locked in and others locked out. The whole "no liability until contracts exchange" annoyed me with the hell I went through because there was no way I was getting back the money I'd already spent if I pulled the plug on them taking almost a year to sort their rear.
Gazumping shouldn't even be a thing.

Totally agree. Also don't see why if you say "I'd like £X for this house" that when offered that amount, it's not immediately sold. "Offers over" fair enough but if you just want to create a bidding war, that's what auctions are for! (Yes, I'm aware you're likely to get less at auction...I'm just bitter, ok!?
