Don't believe word of mouth. When signing put a condition on the booking form " subject to freehold property and not leasehold ". Remember the duty of the salesman is to sell so that he gets his commission.

I put a similar clause " subject to bank finance " on my booking form which saved me. The tussle between developer and finance house went on and my 3 payments were delayed because of this clause.

The developer could not cancel the contract until he issued a letter saying no finance. Luckily the developer was good and I did not face any adverse situations, Developers wait for you to default so that they can cancel your contract and sell to someone else for higher price.
