    Mad really, the past week I've had all these different scenario's running through my head and the only thing I didn't think would happen... has.
    You should be grateful they informed you now. A friend of ours recently paid 3K for surveys only to be told the vendor decided not to sell now.

    If its a real reason they saved you fees, but look out for it coming back on in May-August.

    EAs can be a bunch of sharks, but if they state it's due to 'unfortunate circumstances' - a term that seems a bit unusual - then I suspect there's every chance it was

    Ask the EA to wish them well, and to let you know if it goes back on the market. 

    Not sure how any delay will actually help them in the current economic clime. 

    Of course, if you find that the 'unfortunate circumstances' was that they were gazumped on their purchase, then... :smile:
