True, but there is no disagreement between them as far as we know. Both of them accept the seller has to pay yard fees, he just hadn't done it as of two weeks ago.

I was going to say similar when 'sailaway' was mentioned - but decided not to given the sort of replies possible. I TOTALLY agree with you ...
Sailaway is such a wide ranging term that it depends on each persons idea of it. From literally anything that floats without sinking - to the Dealers sailaway option ....
As another has said - OP hasn't given any update and so much now is speculation on part of posters. OP needs to come back and let us know latest ... good or bad ... ? it is all working out for OP ....

Not quite, as far as I can see. The houseowner complained about the quality of work to the cops, who sad it was a civil matter. He then refused to pay a £3,500 additional bill, after which the builder wrecked the joint.
Actually, what worries me more is that even in Leicester a dump like this can be worth £500k.

Why are people still discussing this. The original poster has gone to ground without any notice.
Leicester is a bit of a toilet anyway, apart from a few suburbs.

I did this tonight and just got a response: Bill was paid by seller, yard had the mast down and boat ready for transport the following day.
All's well that ends well, glad it worked out for all concerned.

Jolly good. Has he paid the outstanding 10%?

That's what pisses me off about some forumites. They come on here wailing and moaning then don't follow-up. Most unsatisfactory.

Happy days! Glad it worked out ok
The discussion though i don't consider time wasted ... it came good for the OP but serves as a warning of potential pitfalls for others as it could have gone rather horribly wrong!
Right, next hot topic of disputation please ...

Do contract law cases go down the small claims pathway?
Bought a boat on Ebay.
Ebay sale equals a contract, the T&Cs of which are whatever is stated on the ad page. In this case there were none.
Seller then later sold it to someone else, for more money.
Genuine example. No suggestions about speaking to the buyer, & Ebay at all because both are a waste of time, & it's like pulling teeth to get seller's contact details out of Ebay, even though it is according to the law for them to provide them (Ebay will lie outright about this, fob buyers offf, & run victims around with complete nonsense, although it is possible in the end to get them).
Clear breach of contract. How does one pursue it?

That was the buyer's choice of post sale movement.

Whilst I have now moved from Leicestershire to Dartmoor (no not at Her Majesty’s pleasure) I do think the maligning of Leicester is a bit unfair and £475 k sounds about right for that property in that location

What if it's something you really wanted, at a great price, that's unlikely to come up again, & certainly not at that price?

Oh that's quite different - then, you grouse about it on forums until you feel better. This could take a long time.
More seriously, I suspect the only legal comeback you would have is if you had incurred significant expense as a result of the contract. Eg if you had bought a boat at auction, then turned up with an expensive hired boat transport to take possession; you might be able to pursue the seller for your financial loss (whether you'd win is another question).
But it's hard to see what compensation would be awarded because you "really wanted" it.

must admit I got lost when reading many of the posts, on this matter
So can I ask, if the buyer has paid a certain sum to the Seller as a deposit , a large one I gather, so is the amount outstanding to the Seller enough to pay theYard instead ?
