PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
We're aware that some users are experiencing technical issues which the team are working to resolve. See the Community Noticeboard for more info. Thank you for your patience.

Is it likely to sell again very quickly? Did they have more than one offer? How long is the chain below?
If it is likely to go quickly, I would probably wait as starting fresh will mean wasting money and starting with a new chain. Depending on above, you could give them a few weeks to find a new buyer, before remarketing.0 -
There are lots of "who knows" . We decided to put the house back up for sale and fortunately found a buyer not in a chain, who's offered the same price. So well keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for all your replies.4
