well I am not lawyer, but have always been told that exchange of contract is the point of no return, prior to that unless some other kind of agreement is in place then either side can pull out willy nilly..

I’ve reread everything and realized I wasn’t paying attention the first time because I thought it was about the day of completion, not exchange. As for whether you’re entirely without responsibility I wouldn’t want to speculate if only because I’m too inattentive!

Xiphon – I love dealing with people like you (or at least how you describe you are). Very easy to play against normally because acting like that you remove any need for me to play fair. ScottChegg has it in one.

Flipside is, play nice with me and I’ll play nice with you.
