i agree with Bob completely on this, I considered making a check list for buying my 2nd property but I didnt and at one point thought I was facing problems, that with my initial experience of buying and failure to act on my instincts ie the check list, it all worked out well for me and the delays were genuine beaurocracy.

If there was a generic plan/checklist put together by people more in the know than me Im sure that buyers would probably not go through the heartache and traumas of dealing with systems, emlaks and lawyers, unsscrupulous builders etc.
There is so much info on this site about peoples experiences, and the legal aspects etc that if it was pulled together to create maybe a downloadable package for prospective buyers that perhaps some of the "villains" would realise they had got it wrong when their phones stop ringing
