Contract Race
Where more than one person or party has offered on a property the seller may accept both offers but state he will ultimately sell to the person who can prepare the legal paperwork and be ready for exchange of contracts fastest.
This is rare. Most professional agents will recommend sealed bids as an alternative as buyers are reluctant to risk solicitor and other buying costs.
It occurs more where there is a very unique property that a number of professional buyers (say developers) are interested in and those buyers are well versed in the buying process.
