Can I cancel contract with estate agent before house goes on the market?

SueF1 · 2020-08-05 18:41:20

I've signed the contract to put my property on the market with Your Move today but a friend of a friend has said they are very interested in buying it. The photos have not been taken and the property is not on the market yet, am I able to cancel the agreement? Is there a cooling off period like other contracts etc? Thank…

The 999 score on Experian is nothing more than an interpretation of how the individual manages current debt to the rules.
What you cannot see is affordability, which is likely more important to a lender. At least as important.

I understand what the Experian shows having done a bit of research based on the previous response to my post, but rightly or wrongly I would still be reassured if my potential buyer showed me a 999 Experian score, as opposed to a 199 score (in addition to AIP and perhaps proof of funds).
