Very difficult to read but I think the short answer is yes, they can withdraw an offer they've previously made.  You didn't accept it when it was made, they don't have to hold it open whilst you try and get more from them.  You gambled, it didn't work.

In short, yes they can withdraw their offer, no you can not force them to agree. If you have a legal case you can take them to court, I am not sure you do, but you should take legal advice of that is the route you wish to pursue.

Sorry about the bad read, I’m writing on my phone and very stressed, you get the idea. I appreciate your reply. But let’s not forget about the whole drama I actually had to live with in terms of mushrooms, mould, damp etc. That all gets forgotten about as if it never happened just because I seeked further advice? I’ve been messed around from the start and I don’t have the right to ask for advice without losing everything?...

You still have the same rights against them as you always had, whether or not they had ever made (and/or withdrawn) an offer to settle.

No, it doesn't get forgotten about, you can still pursue a claim for your losses.  That's somewhat separate to the negotiation you had with them about compensation.  That ended when they withdrew their final offer.  Nothing stopping you taking legal action.

What so this is a game now? I gambled??? Come on you can’t be serious. The money they offered me is because I deserve it for what they’ve put me through, that should be the very minimum that gets offered to me and stays offered to me. It isn’t a good will offer, it’s compensation is it not? Compensation shouldn’t disappear just for having an opinion on if what I think I should receive.

The "compensation" they previously offered was a gesture of good will, it does not impact any legal rights you may have. You have not "lost everything", you still have same rights as before.

There words, compensation. Also it was never fixed.
