Offer accepted… so why do some house sales fall through? 🏡
Buying or selling a home is exciting, but there can be a few bumps between agreeing a sale and collecting the keys.
Some common reasons include:
💷 Mortgage or financial circumstances changing
🔍 A property survey uncovering unexpected issues
💬 Delays and gaps in communication
🔗 A buyer pulling out further down the property chain
You can’t control everything, but a proactive estate agent, a responsive solicitor and clear communication can help keep your house move on track.
We’re not ones to blow our own trumpet, so we’ll let one of our Google reviews do the talking about how we handle those trickier moments:
“Kim kept us updated, helped chase things along when needed and was always willing to answer our questions or find out what was happening further up the chain. We really appreciated how supportive and reassuring she was, particularly towards the end when there were a few delays and we were desperate to get everything over the line.” - Storm Lansdell, Google review, September 2026
