I put my house on the market with a Sheffield Estate agent a few months ago.
They have been hopeless and a few weeks ago went into Administration. They were immediately bought out by the management and carried on as if nothing had happened.
The thing is that they have changed their name to exactly the same as before.
Can I cancel my contract with them? Its affectively a different comapny but with the same name.
I know its probably hard to answer this without looking at the contract but any ideas would be appreciated.

I would think so, when a company goes tits up it can start again with the same name (pheonix company) but not honour warranty claims so what's the difference(as i found out from a well know exhaust maker with "lifetime gurantee")
