What Does It Mean If Your Buyer Has Fallen Through?
A property sale can fall through when a buyer withdraws their offer before completion. This can happen for many reasons, leaving you back at square one, facing delays, and risking financial losses.

Common Reasons Buyers Fall Through
Mortgage issues
The buyer's mortgage application may be declined, leaving them unable to proceed.
Survey problems
Structural issues or negative survey results can scare buyers away
Gazumping or gazundering
The buyer finds another property or reduces their offer at the last minute.
Change in circumstances
Buyers may back out due to job loss, divorce, or financial struggles.
Chain collapse
If the buyer is part of a property chain and another sale falls through, it can disrupt your transaction.
Cold feet
Some buyers simply change their minds and walk away
