Anybody ever had an estate agent tell you that your offer has been accepted, got a letter through confirming that it's been accepted, then have their solicitor contact yours to tell them that it was actually rejected? I can't see how anybody benefits but equally can't see how the estate agent would have made that kind of screw up in the first place.
I don't think so because the estate agent is adamant that it hasn't been rejected despite what their solicitor is saying, which wouldn't make sense if we had been gazumped.
