Yeh. Pay cash and get the deeds on the same day.

Buy one in Scotland. Not foolproof, but pretty secure.

Exchange ASAP, then at least they are sueable if they breach. you could also negotitate a side contract with the vendor, you solicitor should be able to advise on this. He is also likely to advise you the chance of getting the away team to accept it are small.

When will the government outlaw gazumping? When it starts to affect tax revenue?
