How certain are things after exchange?

[Fiddlestickler]

Panicking a bit - started telling people our new address now that we've exchanged, and reading a few posts on here has just made me worry... We're in a long chain (7). Surely people can't pull out now...can they??

Once you've exchanged contracts you are legally committed to the sale. If anyone pulls out now they will lose their deposit. Have a read of this if it's any help!

That's what I thought, and for that reason I didn't worry last time - some people on here keep saying 'if it goes through' and 'unless it falls through' which is worrying me!!

And we're not even FTB

I think you can breathe a sigh of relief once you have exchanged.

V v occasionally someone does break contract, but then you keep their deposit.

The chances are not worth panicking about, IMO.

does happen but not often. And if it does you get lots of money, more than enough to pay for phone calls and stamps. :-)
