    it took less than a second to tell him to no thanks.

    I think we put too much pressure on ourselves when buying and selling property. When the wheels are turning you don't really want to stop them, especially when you have laid out money already on legal fees and survey fees and the like. At the risk of wasting a few hundred pounds I bet a lot of people go ahead to complete a purchase even though they may regret it shortly afterwards.

    I might try that, there's a lovely house I've had my eye on for a while now...

    In all seriousness, that is rubbish! He might just be trying it on and be back, if not, I hope you find a new buyer soon.

    If it was due to Brexit then the house you are moving into will be equally reduced

    Sorry it fell through. these thing happen in property transactions all the time. It happened to us 27 years ago. We also went through a period of gazundering People ringing up the day the contracts are to be exchanged i.e. moving day and offering several thousand less or the deal is off. Scotlandhas it right. Conract offer- acceptance-binding! None of this gazumping / gazundering (blackmail in my view) and pulling out at the last minute. Obviously, chains breaking down, unforeseen changes in personal circumstance could be written in but making offers and then pulling out should be illegal IMHO

    When I first read that I thought you said "selling my horse".

    Yes. He has no reasoning other than conjecture and guesswork. He's trying it on basically.
