- I realise you'll know this Mike (having ploughed through lengthy posts
- on mortgages during the summer, some of which were from you) but
- watch out or he might just accept your offer. In Scotland that's it.

- Here in England's green and pleasant housing market you're best to wait
- until change of contract day, withdrawn your too generous offer, tell
- them you are a completely callous bastard, and offer them 5k less.
- We don't shilly-shally around with this "an offer is final" crap.
