Do we need to tell the EA about pulling out of purchase?

And we haven't pulled out just because "we've seen a nicer house"... we pulled out because of the issues with the unregistered deeds on the first property which all parties knew we were concerned about in advance and because we managed to have an offer accepted on a suitable property that coincidentally we feel is better for us (is also freehold tenure). It is unfortunate for everyone involved, but it was out of our hands. Best case scenario was us proceeding with that property and getting possessory title - we didn't want that. It isn't easy to withdraw from something when you invested your interest, time, energy and money into!
Anyway, thanks to those who have provided useful input but I'm going to refrain from replying on this thread again because some comments are just not necessary when someone comes on a forum to ask a genuine question and for help at a very stressful time! x
Some of the comments were harsh, but they wouldn't have made them if they had the facts. They made the comments based on the information that you provided.0 -

To be fair it was quite obvious to me, and therefore probably many others, that the fact the OP was now buying a nicer house wasn't the reason they were pulling out of the purchase. No one would think that pulling out of a purchase due to finding a nicer one was 'no fault of their own'. People wanted to comment before they thought about it properly, and should probably think more next time.Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!0 -
