Not sure. I think it will just be the solicitors fees.

If u were only 2 weeks away from completion then isn't there somethin u can do from a legal side of things?
I was kinda in the same situation before I bought my house - I was buyin it off my dad after my mum passed away an he kept threatenin to pull out (Just cuz he's a bit of an arse), I spoke to my solicitor an she said that if he pulled out then I could sue him for breaking the contract.....Might be different in England tho

You can pull out right up untill you sign as you don't enter a contract when you are in the process of buying the house, you make an offer then the contracts are signed and it is all final

yeah Ally is right. solicitor said there is nothing i can do. feel like breaking the guys legs at times coz he screwed me over. Its back on the market now as property of the week so hopefully it will be gone soon.

It's different in Scotland -- an offer is legally binding etc (but you don't normally make a formal offer until you've had a valuation etc).
So you hadn't exchanged contracts yet? Bummer
I'm in the middle of buying a flat and I'm more worried the seller's going to pull out -- he's in such a hurry and blaming us for any hold-ups (even though his solicitors is as much to blame)
