re: selling a house

[gempott1234]

What happens if we accept an offer for our house, but decide that we dont want to sell after all, we haven't exchanged contracts yet

Nothing ........ this happens all the time. It is unfortunate for the prospective buyer but while our system works like this, it is something that is very common, that is why chains are forever collapsing.

It's rather different there

you are not legally bound to anything until you have put your signature on the contracts. lucky for you, a shame for the buyer.
