Hi Tania,
Its disappointing to hear your sale fell through unfortunalty this is a product of the system we currently use. The great news is that Jayne Rose resold the property for you so quickly making sure you can stick to plans you had moving forward. All the best in your move.
Regards
James Baker ...
