Can I approach a seller directly?

What do the terms of sale actually say and what did you sign?  I don’t see how that can be legal.

In terms of this statement from the EA, I haven’t signed anything. A memorandum of sale was sent to me and contains no stipulations. This is just merely the EA trying to persuade me to use their mortgage broker before I proceeded to let them know I have already submitted an application.

in respect to the Vendor, I had my solicitor contact his. He has indeed decided to sell to his neighbour.

I was sure that the EA was up to something. But, it seems that at least the decision to sell to a neighbour was true. Strange what your friend was told.

Good luck in your search for a house.
