Selling your home is one of life’s biggest milestones—but it can also be one of its biggest stressors. Properties fall through every day, costing time, money, and emotional energy. In fact, around 300,000 UK property sales collapse each year, with sellers and buyers alike often losing thousands of pounds
That’s why Moreland Estate Agents is proud to introduce a trusted reservation process, in partnership with Gazeal, that turns uncertainty into confidence.
Why House Sales Fall Through (And How We Stop It)
Unreliable Agreements
Without a formal commitment, either party can withdraw last minute—commonly known as gazundering (a buyer lowers their offer just before completion) or gazumping (a seller accepts a higher offer after agreeing to another)
High Financial Consequences
Sellers and buyers can lose an average of £3,337 when a sale collapses, not to mention wasted time and legal expenses
Our Reservation Agreement: A Safety Net That Works
Mutual Commitment
Both seller and buyer sign a Reservation Agreement—documented and guaranteed—locking in the terms and safeguarding the sale from wavering intentions
Lower Failure Rates
This commitment has been shown to reduce fall-through rates significantly—bringing them down to under 6%. That’s a powerful buffer against unpredictable transactions.
Financial Safety for Vendors
If a sale does fall through, both parties may be eligible for up to £10,000 in protection, depending on the Reservation Agreement terms.
What Vendors Say
“I have now used Gazeal a number of times and can admit that without them a sale would have fallen through…”
— Scott Donovan (

“Since partnering with Gazeal, I’ve seen significant improvement… reduced risk of failed transactions, and greater peace of mind throughout.”
