If a seller relists with a new estate agent after previously instructing one, you may be able to claim back legal fees if the sale falls through due to the seller's actions. However, it depends on the terms of the contract with the original estate agent, the reason for the sale falling through, and whether the original introduction is still considered the "effective cause" of the sale. 

And If a seller pulls out of a sale and relists with a new estate agent after a few weeks, it can be frustrating for the buyer, especially if they've already incurred costs. Legally, the seller is in breach of contract if they pull out after exchange of contracts, potentially leading to legal action and financial penalties. The buyer can pursue various remedies, including serving a notice to complete, claiming compensation for costs, or even seeking to enforce the sale (specific performance). 

Bold doesn’t apply in Scotland. You do not exchange  contracts.

Scottish law applying to buying houses is not the same as the rest of the UK . General advice on the internet applies to UK. 

You have to state you are asking about Scotland. 

The sale  is not complete until missives are concluded. This happens when both parties  have signed missives.  This is usually done by your solicitor on your behalf, after advising you that  both sides are ready.
 

The best person to advise you if you have any recourse  available is your solicitor. 

We've been through this - the OP was asking AI generic questions and getting AI slurp.

To summarise the thread: missives were not concluded and OP's vendor pulled out because their new build was not ready. Because of that, the OP pulled their house off the market as they had no-where to go, and had to buy their furniture back. It's not nice when it happens, but no chance of any recourse against the OP's vendor.

I'm not sure how they got int the position of having a completion date in mind with a date one week after the point in time missives were not concluded. OP has been asked but has not explained what their solicitor said/is saying.

Maybe they don’t like what the solicitor is telling them.
