House we're buying no longer marked sold STC?!

Same thing happened to me as happened to Doozergirl. The house we were buying suddenly became available again on Rightmove after being Under Offer to us for weeks. Panic phone call to EA and I was told that the system had put all sorts of houses back on for some reason. As it happens we pulled out of buying that one but that's another story............

Hi, yes I called agent this morning, she was very apologetic and assured me it was just a system error, they have since changed it to sold stc so I was worrying about nothing after all. Thanks to those who told me that would be the case, yuo were spot on.

We put an offer on a house back in February and it was put as under offer for 1 day, then we were told that due to us still having a house to sell it would continue to be advertised, due to us not being able to sell ours depite reducing the price by 6% we are no nearer to getting anywhere on it.

Some good might come out of it though as we've recently had a phone call from the estate agent saying it's been reduced by £20000 and will probably take another £5000 less

I'd contact the agent immediately saying I am very unhappy about being deceived in this underhand fashion, am dropping my offer by £1k and will not be proceeding until the property is removed from the market entirely.
