We've just signed a contract for a house in Sydney and paid our 0.25% deposit up front and signed the "exchange by the agent" form. The vendor is up the central coast and the agent is obviously delayed securing the vendor's signature.
The agent is getting worried because they still have an open house planned on Saturday and would like to say it's sold. Apparently, the agent is telling everyone there's "an offer on the table".
I'm going to talk to my solicitor about this, but I'm wondering, have we really bought it yet?
Is there anything I can do to stop the open house? Can I still be gazumped? There is an awful lot of interest in this house.
