The consequences should be spelled out clearly in the contract to purchase and there should be a deposit required to seal the deal. One consequence would be that the buyer would forfeit their deposit as long as that provision was specified in the contract. A good rule to remember is that the time to plan for the worst to happen is when you are drafting the contract.

What is Deed poll and How do you change your last name through the Deed poll?

A Deed Poll is a legal document. Although a Deed Poll is a form of legal contract, it's different from other legal contracts in that a Deed Poll concerns just a single individual and requires that person's signature in the presence of a witness. Deed Poll documents are used for a range of different purposes relating to an individual or a company legally committing themselves to doing something. Deed polls are used in the UK, Ireland, and some other commonwealth countries to commit to using a new name for all purposes. The deed poll can then be used as proof of your change of name.
