    Tell them deal is off unless compo for your time & costs plus £1k to your favourite charity.
    And return mail, not known

    Sounds like they are super keen to move in to your property. Rather than risk losing a buyer, get the EA and /or the solicitors to have a word with the buyers, so that they fully understand the situation.
    You don't want what could be a simple misunderstanding resulting in your sale falling through.

    According to the OP's other thread, they are not FTBs so should know better

    There are dummies the world over. Some FTBs can be completely clued up; some non-FTBs may not have any idea what they're doing - in fact, following the SDLT changes, a bunch of them seem not even to know if they are FTBs!

    Have a lot of solicitors knocked-off today?

    Ones I've looked at are open until Friday lunchtime.

    Just wait until you find out they’ve taken over your gas, electric and water.
    I would have phoned the EA rather than just emailed them to make sure they have a very stern word with your prospective [STRIKE]numpties[/STRIKE] buyers.
