Currently seeing 1 to 2 on Remain, 13 to 8 Leave. They've been like that a couple of days.
To make it simple.
You put £10 on remain, we remain and you get back £15 (10*1/2 +10)
You put £10 on leave, we leave and you make £26.25 (10*13/8 +10)
BTW the vote result was to remain. Just gonna leave that here.0 -

So, the seller's estate agents relisted the house yesterday and removed 'STC'. Is this reasonable considering I don't really have a leg to stand on until I have a new buyer, or should they have informed me that it would be going back on the market? I was hoping to be given a couple of week's grace.
This sucks.0 -
I think they could have told you out of courtesy, but what would be the point of giving you a couple of weeks grace ? Essentially you are now non procedable you have no ability to buy.0

True, but I've heard of sellers 'hanging on' - does this not mean that they will not relist the property for a period of time? Now somebody else could get in there and beat us to it. I know we can do nothing about it but we are further ahead than anyone else (all paperwork done and ready to exchange on purchase end)0

Oh that is a shame. They should have mentioned it, but at the end of the day you are not currently able to proceed. (Though fingers crossed you soon will be again)
I would expect when anyone else expresses interest they will tell them there's an offer on it but that they may be open to others in a position to move faster, say perhaps someone with nothing to sell.
I'm sure the seller will appreciate that if they dump you for someone else in a chain, even if under offer, the same thing could happen again, so they would be foolish to jump to that.0 -
Yeah, thanks Hoploz. What will be will be I guess! Never moving again!0

But are they just people speculating and posturing or genuine buyers?0 -
