    Get your agent to contact their broker (if using one) or the buyers themselves to get clarification. You have every right to know what their situation is and the timescales involved.

    Restrictions could mean anything to be honest. It could refer to redemption tie in's or the rate or even the amount they are prepared to lend. Dependant on what the hold up is will also dictate the timescale for a new offer. If it is a simple miss-type for example (which are quite common) then it could be a matter of a few days. If they asking for more money for example it could be a couple of weeks.

    Get onto your agent ASAP.

    Hope this helps
