Fall-through
A fall-through is a sale that collapses after an offer was accepted, usually before exchange. The property comes back to the market, and everyone who was told the sale was proceeding needs a new fact.
Also called Sale fell through.
The usual causes
A survey, a mortgage, a chain, or a change of mind. Record the reason the parties gave you, without inventing a legal conclusion. The vendor decides whether to remarket at the same price, to reduce, or to pause.
Who to tell
The vendor, applicants you had turned away, and anyone with a viewing booked on the assumption the sale was dead or alive. A short, factual note beats a silence followed by a surprise portal change.
