Well you've just wasted everyones time on here, you need to get your house back on the market and try and understand the selling process as you dont seem to have a clue what your doing.

All of the replies have been on the basis that you have exchanged as you said in the first post. Until exchange nothing is set in stone.

Your solicitor does not seem to have explained what is happening very well. How do they explain their messages and advice to you?

Thanks for that, dead helpful, especially as we're buying not selling, way to kick someone when they're down

And clearly you're an idiot who doesn't read threads they're posting in.

The OP was very clear in the first sentence of their first post that:

1) They're buying the house, not selling it
and
2) They're first time buyers so don't have a house to put back on the market, and obviously don't know what they're doing. Asking for advice with doing that is precisely why this thread and indeed entire forum exists, smug morons really don't help the OP when they've just found themselves with a major, major problem on their hands.

We signed contracts last week. The solicitors told us the sellers had signed the contracts. Now they're umming and ah-ing and saying that we haven't exchanged. We have no idea what's happening. We're first time buyers and it's been rushed through.
We went with the highest recommended and expensive solicitors to ensure it went smoothly

A tad harsh!

Harsh, but did make me chuckle after all the helpful comments. :shhh:

Sounds to me like the solicitor hasn't done a very good job of explaining. It's not as though the OP said "I don't know whether we've exchanged", they categorically said "We exchanged contracts last week" so that must be what they inferred from their solicitor.

OP, your OH needs to phone back the solicitor. Simple questions like "Have we exchanged or not? Why did you tell us last week that we had? What do we do now? How do we complain?"
