Q: What is "Exchange"?
A: Exchange of contracts is when the two legal firms representing the buy and seller swap signed contracts and the buyer buys a deposit. At this point, an agreement to buy or sell a property becomes legally binding: once the buyer and the seller have exchanged contracts they cannot back out of the deal.
Q: Can I renegotiate my offer after I have had it accepted?
A:Yes it is legal and quite common when a survey reveals extensive – and expensive – work required on a property. Once a buyer’s offer on a property is accepted by its seller, in estate agent speak, the property becomes “sold subject to contract”, which means that the price can still be negotiated. In England and Wales, an offer doesn’t become legally binding until contracts are exchanged. Up until that point it is perfectly legal for a buyer to reduce their offer for whatever reason or for a seller to accept another higher offer from a different buyer.
