  • Our buyers pulled out, no idea why, they haven't said.

    Is there anything we can do now while their solicitor is still active to get anything from them to speed up the next buyer? Can you hold onto search results etc?

  • Depends if the next buyer uses the same solicitor, surely

  • Nightmare.

  • That's crap news but probably not surprising - there will be a lot of people finding out they don't have jobs any more today.

  • Can you hold onto search results etc?

    You can ask to buy them from them.

  • You might be able to buy the searches. Or at least get the solicitor details so you can pass them on to the next buyer so they can buy the searches from them (I'd imagine buyers may be suspicious of vendor provided searches, I probably would be).

    If it's any comfort the same happened to me. I eventually sold it for £5k more than the previous offer (viewing and offer on the first day after lockdown ended) and the delay meant that I ended up being able to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday.

  • This is exactly our fear.

    My next plan is to fill out what I can of the LPE1 form, send it over and ask them to join the dots. But I don't know if they will just ignore that too. @Brommers - any wisdom?

  • Oh ffs. That's a nightmare.
