Estate agent woe

I have an estate agent selling a probate property (nit local to me) in pretty poor condition internally but with a bathroom and kitchen and structurally its fine.
Property was listed in September and a buyer found and it was removed from advertising, the property fell through after 1 mortgage application was declined (property condition) a 2nd offer was made but retracted and a third application was declined last week due to property condition again. I suspect something wrong with buyer's circumstances but estate agent adamant condition is the only reason
Long story short they have been terrible to deal with communication wise and didn't inform me the 2nd offer had been retracted until months after it had been. It has all dragged on and been a complete waste of time.
Estate agent told me I should relist as cash buyers only (I don't believe the property is unmortgageable at all so I told them this and said verbally and written how I didn't agree with cash buyers only) and I wasn't happy with the communication or service overall so I gave my written 21 days notice of cancellation with them on Monday (I plan to go with another estate agent who I have been in contact with)
Just woken up and they have relisted the property on right move and put cash buyers only! I am furious as I expressed on the phone several times and in an email that I don't want it listed as cash buyers only.
Where do I stand with this? Can they relist it even though I didn't say to relist it and can they put cash buyers without my consent? It feels very petty.
