Don't shoot the messenger

Article Abstract:

It is vital that changes are made to the way in which houses are bought and sold in the UK. This is the only way to eliminate gazumping, a practice for which estate agents should not be held responsible. There are signs that the government is paying attention to growing demands for more certainty in house purchasing, and it has now set up an investigation into the home buying process. Gazumping could be eliminated by ensuring that both purchasers and vendors pay a deposit of up to 5% of the agreed price.
