Its not too bad for me as its my deceased parents house I am selling as executor and so I am at the top of the chain not needing to move.

I really feel for the young couple who were buying mine, they have had their first child yesterday who now have to re-market theirs!

What a ridiculous system!
I agree it should be legally binding. I owned a house in Germany some years ago and once your offer is accepted (subject to checks) its legally binding. You cant pull out and if you do you get sued to death..
