Sorry to resurrect this thread, but looking for a quick answer.
A relative has had some confusion with a house sale.
Offer was made and accepted on their house, deposit was paid but then the purchaser pulled out. They came back into play today and the solicitor re-accepted the offer on my relatives behalf. The solicitor claims that my relative instructed them to do so this morning, but in the confusion of phone calls and pressure my relative doesn't remember doing so.
The problem is another potential buyer has come into play, with a substantially better offer, however the solicitor is adamant that nothing can be done with out legal liability.
But, from the little info I can find, once the contracts haven't been signed, either party can still back out, no?
Would hugely appreciate some help on this!
