Questions
Should I relist with an estate agent in Ellesmere Port?
If the problem was the buyer rather than the property, relisting at a realistic price is often the best route. If the property itself was the issue — survey, mortgage or legal — a direct sale may be worth comparing.
Can you work to my onward purchase date?
We’ll agree a completion date with you and tell you honestly whether it’s realistic, based on the legal position.
Can a buyer pull out after an offer is accepted?
Yes. In England and Wales, neither buyer nor seller is legally committed until contracts are exchanged. After exchange, pulling out usually means losing the deposit and possibly further costs.
Can you use the searches from my previous sale?
Sometimes. It depends on how recent they are and what our solicitors need. Your solicitor can tell you what's been done and what can be passed on.
