We break down exactly what went wrong—from not checking his internet banking limits to relying on a casual text from the agent saying it was fine to pay a day late. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. We explain why "time is of the essence" matters in contracts, how legal advice should come before you sign anything, and how quickly things can unravel when you don't follow the proper steps.
This isn't about scaring you—it's about making sure you understand how serious contract conditions are and why it's so important to get everything in order from the get-go. If you're buying your first home, this episode talks about lessons you most definitely do not want to learn the hard way.
