After extensive negotiations with the seller through the service, we reached an agreement on the price. Following a survey, some issues were raised, which I communicated to the service and the seller to seek their input and find a resolution. However, the seller canceled the sale and relisted the property at £10k more than our agreed price, which was already £5k above the initial listing. I am shocked that an agent would endorse such conduct, seemingly to relist the property. This is unacceptable, and I am the only one suffering financially as the potential buyer. Additionally, they included a clause requiring a payment of £996 to an agent for the sale to proceed, claiming they would provide searches for this fee, which no solicitor other than theirs would accept. This feels like a complete scam.
