Just after some advice in regards to a finance clause in a contract I recently signed. We have a 3 week subject to finance clause with a 60 day settlement. I signed on the 19/5, with a finance date of the 9/6. The vendor signed on the 22/5 and I received these contracts on the 28/5 - meaning 9 days has gone from our 21 day finance clause. I've asked the lawyer to change the date to the 18/6 and she has said that she has requested it and "will advise their reply in due course". It is now the 2nd of June and we still haven't heard from the vendors lawyers.
My question is twofold 1) is there anything I can do to make sure the finance clause stands at 3 weeks (at least form vendor signing) 2) in order to avoid this situation in the future should I just cross out the date the clause is up and put "21 days from vendor signing" (or something similar?) or just not sign it until the vendor has?
