Hi, is there someone who could give me some advice please? At my wit's end. We were to complete on a house sale and purchase on Friday. It didn't happen. Our buyer and his lawyer knew on Thursday that it wasn't going ahead due to him failing ant money laundering checks. We were asked to sign the missives on Thursday and now are in a binding contract with our purchaser. How could he fail these checks as late in the process as this and be able to get a mortgage. Thank you -
He failed to perform the AML checks when he signed you up as clients?
This is meant to be one of the essentials steps of the client sign up? If he did not do that and triggered a delay like this, then there could be serious consequences for his firm.
Or did something come up in the AML checks which triggered an investigation and that caused unforseen delays?
"Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012

Hi, thanks for your reply. Our purchaser apparently cannot provide satisfactory evidence of where his deposit is coming from. His lawyer has asked him to send the money to his parents for them to then gift it back to him. He is refusing to do this as he says the money has been in his bank account for three years. If we had been told this in time, we would obv not signed the missives.Comment

Ok thanks for the clarification, I apologize I misunderstood the meaning of your first post.
Ok, first things first - are you in a chain? What is your housing situation given the delay?
His solicitor should certainly have flagged up much earlier the failure of AML checks and further down the line there may be recourse against the firm - but he will lose his deposit to you.
The main issue now is whether this situation can be recovered to save the sale/ purchase.
When did exchange happen? Was a mortgage offer in place?"Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin.

Hi, we are in our own house with no furniture etc as we can't occupy our new house as the completion didn't take place. So my concern at this point is if missives are rescinded the seller of our new house will sue us for breach of contract and costs.Comment

Ok so you have a forward chain.
Try not to panic, I can assure you the law firm of your purchaser will be doing everything possible to make him see sense and comply with the AML checks. They will be very concerned because their insurer could end up meeting all costs of this mistake. I know this does not give you any reassurance on a Saturday night waiting for the firms to open on Monday. Things will become clearer on Monday and when the purchaser is made fully aware of the consequences of 'wilfully' screwing this up, he hopefully will see sense."Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin.

No problem at all, I came close to losing a sale in similar circumstances many years ago, I remember it painfully well, so i know how you are feeling right now. My completion was delayed but we got there a week later. Take care and let us know how you get on. There are a couple of emergency court actions you can consider if things don't look great by close of play Monday."Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin.
