Pulling out of a sale
Helpful member
Hi, where do I stand legally if I want to pull out of a sale. I don’t want to but the vender is making things very difficult. I have put a deposit down with the agents but not signed anything,( this was in the 28th March) it’s taken about 7 weeks since they applied for the certificate, everything else was in place and still waiting for the certificate from the town Hall , and it appears the vendors solicitor only phones them a couple of times a week ( have heard you need to go down there to gee them up) my solicitor suggested we ask for a retainer so the sale could go through but they refused this. They are pushing me to sign the sales contract which obviously I won’t do till the certificate is in, they are refusing to give me a inventory of what comes with the property because I won’t sign the sales contract either. I had asked for a quick finalisation hoping for around mid May at least, I had to arrange a POA which took a little time but now it seems the venders are just putting obstacles in the way, any advice please.
