    WE are all guessing.

    The OP is making 'assumptions'.

    All pointless till the OP gets the facts from his solicitor.

    Darlapool - coming here with half thestory and a load of assumptions is pointless- we cannot answer or advise. Only your solicitor can tell you if the property is your or not.

    OP, there's been a run of bizarre 'bad luck' of late, just look at HELP Vendor Pulling Out After Exchange of Contract and Our Own solicitor Quit and Survey failed to find major fault. What can I do?.

    You should form a self-help group.

    Indeed. Good spot!

    Seems like the mistake made by the OP here is to have handed the keys back. I certainly wouldn't have done so on the say so on the vendor or his EA...

    Absolutely. If you genuinely believed you had spent tens/hundreds of thousands of pounds on something, would you just hand it over to someone without a fight just because they told you it was still theirs?

    And then come on to an internet forum to query this....

    And realistically, how much 'gutting' could you do in the time it took for this situation to come to light? Builder ready and waiting for 'completion'....
